New battery

Does anyone have any trusted places online to buy?

hummm... you can buy from amazon if you know the size you want.

but your local walmart or auto parts place can help you much quicker for the same thing.

batteries are better bought offline, as you will get the core refund for your old battery.
Plus, shipping is expensive so will not save you any money.

As crazy as this may sound.....why not try the dealership? My battery died and since my Fit is under warranty, I wanted the alternator checked just in case before I bought a battery. It ended up being a dead cell and the battery ended up costing my $89 installed (and they disposed of the old one).

Can't beat the price IMO.

Solid. I just figured the dealership would be a huge mark up

Let me understand this posting.
You got a battery replaced under warranty and it only cost $89.

What is wrong with this picture?.

Maybe I misunderstood.

The factory battery is not covered as it is a "wear item" and it was over 4 years old. The point is....you can't beat the $89 price and this one does have a warranty.

My Costco 51r battery beats your price at 70$ and it has 500CCA instead of 330CC. It is guaranteed for 3 years (full money back) and another 5 years (pro-rata refund) after that
