Prices are getting out of hand. Even at Autozone...

That's gotta be wrong.

We're going to Autozone tonight to buy a battery for my wife's 27,000 mile 2020 hyundai kona.

Ya just don't get 5 years out of a "5 year battery" anymore, do ya?

It's a somewhat oddly shaped AGM. Cost at dealer is over $400.

Autozone has one for $265.
We have a local battery sales place where I`ve been buying batteries for over 20+ years.
5 year lead acid, lasting 7 years. I`ve just had to replace 2 within a week. They`re not $50 anymore, $126 for a recent one. I looked at the one in my Dodge, 7 years old, probably going to go south soon but shows no sign of it yet. Good batteries...
