Default Battery price shock

Still recovering from sticker shock vis a vis oem battery replacement for 2007 VDP. I am somewhat reluctant to spend in excess of $500 for a battery. Any suggestions for an aftermarket that matches OEM physical and electrical specs? Thanks for any and all. Richardvdp (Dick Otten)

Any battery with dimensions mm 353x175x~190H with a capacity of around 90-100AH, for example Yuasa 5000, Varta H3, Exide EA1000 or their slightly cheaper versions. Right plus.

You may be right, but when you're inside it feels like heaven

Bosh Varta Yusa 140 to 200 should be possible anywhere . They are not 110 anymore but 500 is a scam

Ditto to what Motorcarman said re Walmart, and they will deliver it for free at least in the DC area. The one they sell online has a bit more CCA than the one in stores. Once installed, you can take the old one back for the core credit.

Another vote for the Walmart H8 battery. Using it in my 2014 XJR for several years now.
NEVER buy a battery at the dealer! Never.

I agree with motorcarman Wally World's Everstart is I just installed in my 08 VP. At least in the Dallas area they do not stock these I had to order mine and waited a week-free shipping but the price was worth the wait.. All is good...
