Hi,

I may need to replace my battery soon and wanted to get some opinions. Its been a little slower to crank recently and I have not driven it here in MN this week since it didn't make it above zero for 3 days (it was -22F on Thurs night) I did some searching on the board but couldn't come up with anything conclusive. I'm guessing this question is like the oil question :).

No one seems to have the Grp 91 and claim the Grp 48 will work. Here are the options but I don't think the 48's have the air cooling snorkle?

Any opinions of the Energizer/Everstart from Sam's/Walmart at 2/3 the price of others with similar warranty and free install? Otherwise I'll do the Bosch, but they are the farthest from me and everyone else has an install fee. Any concern with letting them replace for me vs doing it myself?

Energizer 48 from Sam's $63 3 Yr Replacement, 84 mo Pro-rate
Everstart 48-3 from Walmart $63 2 yr Replacement, 72 mo Pro-rate
Duralast 48-DL from Autozone $90 2yr Replacement 72 mo Pro-rate
Bosch 48 from PepBoys $90 3 yr Replacement, 96 mo Pro-rate
AutoLite 48 from O'Reily/Checker 2 yr Replacement, 72 mo Pro-rate
Dealer? $$$ I'm schedule to have my A-pillar recall done Mon morning.

It's for my 2002 Aero Wagon w/ 68K miles. Battery is least 3.5 yrs old, I haven't replaced it since I bought it 3.5 yrs ago but I've only put maybe 15K miles.

Thanks for your thoughts.

Wil W
