I need help with a Battery.

Hi, I am looking for a new battery for my car, Right now I have a Sears Die Hard 37080 battery that has side screw in terminals and top post. The Battery is Prob Ten years old. My car has side Terminals but I use the top post for the MSD Box and the stereo.
Any help would be great, specs for motor are in Sig below. Thanks

I am guessing that auto parts stores sell the batteries with both styles on one battery. You can call around to make sure.

Re: I need help with a Battery.

Why order a battery on-line???? Just go to a Auto Parts store such as Advance Auto and they will have a battery for your car. They will also install it and dispose of your old battery at NO Charge.

Re: I need help with a Battery.

I don't need them to install it, I don't want a no name battery, I see Summit has Optima batteries for $167.00 Auto Zone wants $200.00. Not sure about shipping though. I had a Diehard battery and would put another in if I could find the dual post but I can't in the die hard line. Id also use a Ac Delco or Interstate.

Re: I need help with a Battery.

Why would you wanna get it shipped to you when you could take 15 bucks in gas and go to local auto parts store and get it done within a hr or so? Shipping a battery most likely isn't free. Unless you buy a $200 battery when you could go to your local oreillys and get 3 battery's for the price of your one

Re: I need help with a Battery.

Ok I want a good battery, I don't want a Auto Zone or Walmart Special, I don't see any die hard Battery's that are Made for my car that have both side terminals and top Post's. I would get a Die Hard again if they do make it. Also I looked at Auto ZOne they want $200.00 For a Red Top Opt Battery and summit wants $160.00 So If shipping was free I would save money plus a couple Hours of my time. I don't drive the car very often so I don't care if it takes to Months to get here by Mail. I also don't buy junk I only try to buy Top Brand stuff.
