There are many factors that affect the cost of car batteries. The biggest factor that affects prices are the size of the battery which are also called group sizes. Cold Cranking amps (CCA) of the battery and the warranty also affect the prices of car batteries. If you are trying to replace your battery, you first need to determine the size of your battery. You can go to auto parts stores to look up the make and model or you can simply search for the information online.
If you have come across this site I am assuming that you are looking for the prices of batteries. Batteries can range anywhere from 40 dollars to over 200 dollars for the battery. Prices vary according to group sizes. The three common group sizes are 24 64 and 75. Smaller sizes are usually cheaper in prices. The brand is another factor that affects prices. Generally, you would want to go with a well known brand in order to save money in the long run. Cheap generic car battery brands will usually not last as long. It is usually more cost effective to go for well known brands. Some well known brands include Duralast, Everstart, DieHard, and Optima. Optima brands are more expensive but are known to work in all conditions and at times they last longer than the car itself. You can buy Optima car batteries on the Buy Car Batteries page.
Generic car battery brands will be a lot cheaper than popular brands. Cheap car batteries usually do not come with a warranty and if they do it's usually for a short amount of time. A longer warranty is important because if your battery fails for any reason you can replace it free of charge. Generic brand batteries are more likely to fail or break down and are known to be unreliable over time. It will be more cost effective in the long run to go with well known car battery brands because you not only do you get a longer warranty but you also get a longer battery life.
Another factor that will affect car battery prices are the cold cranking amps or CCA. CCA is the measure of your car batteries ability to start under cold temperatures. The CCA rating should meet or exceed your car's OEM (original equipment manufacturer) cranking rate. It is unnecessary to buy a battery that has a high CCA if you live in hot or mild climates. Higher CCA is only necessary for people living in colder climates.
