wildebill308 Report post Posted October 3, 2016 Just a heads up on a good price for batteries. I was at Freightliner Fort Worth Friday and saw they were still running their oem (groupe 31 I think) start batteries for $69.00. Should be at any Freightliner dealer. That is cheap, I bought two this spring. They weren't old stock just a month old. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted October 3, 2016 Does that mean that they only last one year? Spring for 2 AMG's, 7 years worry free! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phylandmac Report post Posted October 3, 2016 "Cheap batteries often become very expensive over time" I agree with Manholt. I went with Lifeline AGMs. No worries for 7-10 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I went with Lifeline AGMs. No worries for 7-10 years. First let me explain these are not cheap batteries. They are OEM for Freightliner. The standard price is $139.00 ea. The ones I took out were still good after 8 years. I had planned on changing my start batt next year as a PM. But for that price I changed them this year. Now please tell me how much you payed for "Lifeline" AGMs that are only guaranteed for 7-10 years. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
