2X on going with Freightliner. Their batteries are reported to be at a reasonable price too.Welcome @Max408. What batteries are currently in it? I just had mine changed at the 5 year mark, needed or not. I think Freightliner Custom Chassis put the same ones in as was in it previously.
Was this at a Velocity Truck shop?You don't need 1150 CCA. I just bought two new starting batteries at Freightliner last week. These are 925CCA and work perfect to start my 500HP ISM, and generator. They were $83/ea. Extra $30 or so if you don't have a core.
I have sold quiet a few different brands of group 31 batteries.
By far, the NAPA 7236 (screw post) or 7237 ( Regular Post) have had fewer warranty claims
than any other brand.
AND one of the few batteries made in the USA.
Very affordable, was a no brainer. Don't remember the exact cost, was not that much.Mine are 2015 vintage so I guess its time. I’ll add it to the list. Neal, what was the labor for the battery change and cost per battery at FL?
I could easily do it myself (I had to take that whole battery box mount contraption out to change my diff pressure sensor on my DPF) but sometimes it’s really worth it to have them do these jobs.
