Re: [Chrysler300] Antique auto





The commodity price of lead has gone from 30 cents in 2004 to a buck in today's market, and you can still find some pretty good batteries out there for $110 or so.

John,

 

Those are actually a flooded battery but with a plate alloy that reduces water consumption and robust space for electrolyte over the plates.  In most cases you can peel off the top label and you'll find access caps should you ever want or need to add water.  10 years is great service!  The cost of lead went up, that's most of the price increase.

conventional older 'maintenance free' sealed unit that I got from either NAPA or Autozone.  Nothing special.  It was around $60 or so at the time.  The replacement was almost twice as much.  What happened to the cost of batteries?

John,

 

Was the old battery an AGM or conventional flooded?

I just recently had to put a new battery in my Hurst.  The date on the 60 month warranty battery was Nov 2003!

I had one in my '62 Imperial, never did a thing to it, never disconnected it and it lasted twelve years. Just bought another and they tell me the new ones are improved. They recommend a charge once every three months - no tender.
