    They charged me about $70 plus a small ($8?) core charge when I bought mine last month. Still a good deal compared to OEM, and it goes in perfectly/comes with the vent adapter and terminal felts. I would be surprised if AutoZone engaged in price discrimination, but who knows...

    charge you extra for the terminal felts. .99 each

    My alternator makes a whining charging sound constantly at idle and a new battery sounds like a viable option. Do the vent hoses come with the battery or what?

    Doyou have a link to the autozone battery thing?

    Default Yeah, Jeff, they throw those useless little felts on all the batteries on the

    Shelf and if you don't tell them that you don't want them they get rung up with the sale...Just go to www.autozone.com and click on shopping then click on the electrical and the battery won't come up so then you'll see an alphabetical index , click on B and battery will be near the bottom of the first page... You'll have to enter your zip code to see the price...there is a core charge thats why you take your old one with you...And if you know someone with a commercial account they can get the Bosch battery for 10 bucks less 49.99 which is the same battery relabeled... with a shorter warranty. 18 month straight replacement , 6year warranty.

    Oh yeah, the vent kit comes with the battery, or its supposed to anyway.. if you dont get it tell them you want one, they are usually stuck to the side of the battery in a plastic bag..
