Best source and price for a battery?

[ZR1cliff]

I bought an AC Delco 75-6YR side terminal battery around 5 years ago and it's as dead as a do-do now. My fault! as with limited use and the last 3 very cold winters, the poor old thing was severely tested.

Are there any more durable batteries on the market? must be a side terminal and have the same dimensions. Where are the best places to buy, oh and price?

TIA

My Delco didn't last long either. I bought one from Keith Bescii - not a Delco and quite cheap. It has the sized post and looks the same and is just as good if not better and a lot cheaper

I'll give him a ring over the weekend. How did your exploratory couple of days go on your Z?

I've bought 2 batteries from these guys. Couldn't beat their prices anywhere, and if ordered one day (I ordered one battery at approximately 15:00) you'll get it the next day.

They have an American car section to make selection easy - and all the best battery manufacterers.

Hope this helps.
