New Battery
 

I went to take the A out for a ride over the weekend,wouldn't crank,it had been turning over very weakly for awhile and the battery charger would not bring it up sufficiently,I jumped it and went out for a cruise.I stopped on the way home and bought a new group 1 battery to the tune of $106.00 plus $27.00 core charge,in the early 60's I bought a new battery for $11.00,I guess with inflation it is about right.

I just bought a group 2 for my 40, it had a group 1. Paid about 85$ plus 18$ core, NAPA.

Since gas went for $.25 a gallon (diesel $.17) back then, cost in the 60s X10+ would be about right for now. Somehow it just seems that a dollar went further.

Run a maintainer on the battery periodically, a good battery will last many years if never allowed to go dead.

Re: New Battery
 

Why didn't you Swap out the battery while you were there and avoided the core charge?
