[quote=Anonymous]Guy here.  It doesn't matter where you go as long as it's not the dealership.  I just go to the auto parts stores like Autozone, Advanced Auto Parts, Oreillys, etc.  The dealerships charge a lot and in some cases charge labor (!) for battery installation.  Auto parts stores will install the battery free of charge.  Batteries are very easy to install but if you are a one car household like us, it helps because they charge a deposit (core charge) when you buy the battery and refund it when you turn in your old one.  If you take it there and have them install it, they charge and refund the core deposit on the initial purchase and you can just leave when they're done.  If you buy the battery and install it yourself then you have to come back with the old battery, wait in line again, and get the refund of the core deposit.

And yes, these come with warranties.  My dealership only provides a one year warranty on batteries.  Auto Zone has batteries with a 3 year warranty. [/quote]
