New Electric Car Batteries – What Every Car Freak Dreams Of!
Batteries are used to run electric cars, they are stored beneath the hood and maybe 12 to 24 in numbers.
When it is time to replace them they are all there.
These batteries are similar to those used on cell phones and toy cars children love to drive around in the backyard.Thus, it is not very difficult to get new batteries when we need them.
Actually, electric batteries do not need to be replaced often so replacment of batteries does not happen too frequently.
They cost around $2000 to $5000 , depending on the model and make of your car.
You must be careful about the amount of electricity in the battery before charging it.
Sometimes the batteries have an in built “memory” , and if the battery is not run completely before charging it may lose some of it’s potency.In this situation you may have to spend on a new battery before it is due.
There is alot of research and development underway in the electric cars industry.
New battery technology is being worked on to ensure that your vehicle can get charged faster and hold more power for a longer time.It will not be long before you can drive your car longer without the need for a battery charge.This is really some great news for those who patronise electric cars.At present the cars can run upto 100 miles per charge.There is a strong possibility that by 2010 the car will be able to run 200 miles on new batteries.
Recycling of the batteries can be done when it is time to replace the batteries.
Electric car batteries are recyclable upto 95 percent.Only those who are concerned about the environment and want to protect their wallets against the gasoline price hike will opt for an electric car, since you have, you are sure to be one of them. So, if you can recycle your electric car battery, before buying a new one you have given yourself a new source of power along with peace of mind.
It is advisable to choose the best type of batteries, for the best price, for your car and be assured that you have done the best for yourself and for the environment .

You will have to take the driver side front wheel off, then look and u will see some plastic wing nuts should be about 3 of them turn them about a half turn to the left and the front of the inner fender will come out. the battery will be in plain sight then. You will need a ratchet 13mm socket and extension take the nut loose that holds the battery down. remove the cables and take the battery to get it checked or a new one. Be sure to get the terminals on the same side(there is a difference) and the same size it wont take a bigger battery than is in it already. Your fender well wont go back in if the battery is any bigger. Hope i was some help.

Do not worry about the brand.
You will need to make sure you have the correct battery for your car, different cars need different batteries, it basically depends on their cranking needs.
Just go to your local auto parts store and have them run your vehicle specs, they will tell you what cranking power is needed.
The brand of battery does not matter, just make sure upon purchase that it comes with a warranty.
To make it easier to attach new cables, they offer some that have a screw in connector. Easy to cut the original one off and splice it and slide that cable into the quick connector/screw tight.

you can always find out the battery size/type of battery from the dealer then go out to sears kragon autozone pepboys or order one online or get an optima battery which is the best out in the market because they use a sealed battery no filling with water or the battery acid leaks

Go to a hardware store and buy a piece of 1/4 inch threaded rod that's long enough to reach down to the battery tray from the top bracket…allow an inch more on top and bottom…you'll have to bend a j-hook into the end on the bottom and get a wing nut and washer also for the top….make sure it doesn't stick up too high to hit the hood when you close it. Probably run a few dollars.

Well I would say what you paid is about average. A tire rotation is about $50 or so give or take ten dollars, a battery could run as high as $90 or more depending on where you purchased it and the window is the high dollar item here and could be as high as $200. Then the labor to perform the tasks, so $450 is actually probably a good deal.

"Consumer Reports" rated the Walmart Brand battery the best value.
