Where to get a new battery?

I don't want to wait to order one, like I do with everything else. So, where can I get a good battery at? and would there be a brand specific size for my 02 wrx wagon?

Thanks a bunch,
Justin K.

 

Costco started carrying Optima batteries not to long ago. They seem to be about 25-40 bucks less than most other places I've seen them. I didn't pay enough attention to notice what sizes they had, but they do stock all three versions (red, yellow, and blue).

 

die hard sears. that is what I have, you pay a pretty penny for it but I have never had a problem with them.

 

I purchased my Red Top Optima from SEARS.....$139.45 with my old battery core...

 

Doesn't AA Batteries work? jk...Get the Red optimas...they last 3x longer then ordinary ones....That is what I'm going with before my batt R.I.P.

 

There are only about 3 or 4 companies total that actually make batteries, then they all get rebranded to give you all the choices there are. I believe Johnson Controls actually makes the Optimas. If you don't have any mad tyte stereo equipment you could probably even get away with a Walmart battery (also by Johnson Controls). It is nearly impossible to buy a battery with fewer CCAs than the stock Subaru battery.

 

Price wise, Sam's Club is hard to beat.

 

Thanks...I actually picked one up from batteries plus for 120 but my voltage problem is still as persistant as ever. Does anyone know where I can get it checked out for cheap? It seems to be draining my brand new battery as well. This sux.

 

hmmm... fleet farm, napa, carquest, subaru dealer, champion, checker, some gas stations, and also at any junk yard/U-pull/place that services vehicles in any way shape or form... nice thread... props

 

Just hit BPSbuaru and see Brian 20% off...Subaru Part, should be in stock

 

An optima red or yellow top..

I'm pretty sure that since the redtop batteries are "smaller" than "normal"
batteries, theres a base that goes along with it so it brings it up to normal
height.
