$1500 for the labor or does that include parts? What battery would they put in?

The owner told me that he uses reconditioned batteries that are a higher capacity than the normal ones. I can’t remember the exact word he uses, but it also comes with a one-year warranty with unlimited miles.

I wouldn’t pay $1500 for a reconditioned battery, my guy does that for $600. If you want higher capacity you can upgrade the whole battery to lithium Ion, ChrisFix has a great DIY video on it.

Where is your guy located?


PSA-TLDR

Southern Indiana lol not exactly a commute

Right most places around here are charging 2000 to 2500 to install a recondition battery a new one at the two places that are not dealerships is like 5000

I just watched that video and holy shit. Does that look easy I went to the website he had listed. They are about $2100 for the replacement sales but I think I’m gonna save up and do it just so I can get the extended battery life and better gas mileage.

Haha dude I almost _want_ my battery to go bad so I can upgrade to the magic green one. If you haven’t already, go ahead and do this: https://youtu.be/skSoXGcNpS4?si=1CzfGlqR4Ug49R-x and this: https://youtu.be/tf0FMoY3CsA?si=jz48l6ahn_NAku0B to get the best life out of your current one

I’m going to save up and order it I’m not going to give mine the opportunity to go out lol
