thanksI am going to change my car' battery. which one should i buy, maintenance free battery (dry battery) or liquid?Get maintenance free battery. Interstate batteries are the best, but they also make most of them... Sears, Auto Zone, these are two that I can thank of quickly that Interstate makes and of course the Interstate brand. Battery life has nothing to do with tune-ups, etc. Most if not all have a warranty for so many years, depending on how good of battery you get. Most will only last about that many years.

According too %26quot;Consumer Magazine%26quot;, your local Wal-mart stores, sell

the highest rated batteries in the Industry, and have the best price per

warranty around.

They wii also install the battery, for free.
Regular maintenance is wonderful and the only maintenance the battery should need is to keep the battery teminals clean and check the liquid level unless it's a maintenance free battery. If you need to replace fluid use distilled water. If the Terminals look like there is a white or green substance on them use household baking soda and water to clean them. It is also best to remove the battery cables from the battery and clean the terminals. Yout local Autzone will carry a stiff brush specifically for this purpose. The best place to purchase a battery is Sam's Club or Wal Mart. They sell a good battery and they a very reasonable. They will even install it for you. All you need to remember is to get a battery in your series with the same cold cranking amps. I have found the folks at Sam's Club to be the most helpful.

Hope this helps you. Have a wonderful day.
I never heard of a %26quot;dry%26quot; car battery. Most batteries have liquid or gel electrolyte. A good battery will have a 72, 84 month warranty with direct replacement for 2 to 3 years and pro-rated for the balance. I think Sears' are overpriced and I buy my coffee at Wal Mart. There isn't much difference except in CCA which is cold cranking amps, expressed as 500 CCA, 660 CCA, etc. Any seller should have the rating for your car and recommend the right battery. It is OK to exceed the CCA rating of your car, just do not go below it. Parts houses like NAPA, Auto Zone, Advance Auto, etc. all sell good batteries and some do installations. Figure on spending at least $80 for a good unit depending on your car. I wish you and your car good Zen.
