I know you can tell me exactly how much, but around average how much should a car battery cost. I have a 98 ford escort and the battery is dying.

I know this is an old question but my input may help someone in the future.
Don t buy on price alone. Check out the warranty also. The Wally World batteries have A 3 year free replacement and 2 more years of prorated replacement. Prorated means if it fails in years 4 or 5 they will only give you partial credit on A new one. Wally World will also install it free. Not many auto parts stores install anything anymore.
I don t work for anybody anymore as I am retired and I have never bought A battery from Wally World but it looks like they have the best deal out there. Shop around your area and see what s up. You might find A better deal.

You can usually find a battery at Autozone, Advance Autoparts, Etc for around $50-$60 when you bring your old battery in as a core trade in.
Brand name batteries will cost you anywhere from $70+$120.
But a little secret...the batteries you find at Meijers, Walmart...are made at the same place the brand name batteries are.
You could also find a good used battery for $30 at some local salvage yards.
Also you may want to check out your alternator...sometimes battery problems are disguised as alternator problems.

How Much Do Batteries Cost
2016-12-24 14:26:06 · answer #4 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
A decent battery will cost you about $75 but, bring the old one in with you and they will give you money for it. They call it the core. They take the old battery cores and recycle them. They should give you another $8 to $12 off the price of the new battery when you bring the old one in. Plus, if you bring the old one in they might be able to test it and tell you if it needs replacing in the first place. Sometimes it is your starter or alternator that is causing the problems and not your battery. I hope this helps. Take care.

Depends on where you go, but you are looking at $40 for an ok on, or up to $100 for a good one. My advice, spend about $75 and get a good one, that way you don't have to worry about it dying real fast lijke the cheap ones. Like the old saying, spend more now or spend a lot more later!
