1: This girl seems cool.

2: BATTERIES ARE $220 NOW?!?!

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Went to check if they were cheaper at Walmart, found they were 70-140 for a normal lead acid battery.

It popped up with an ad asking me to do a free month trial of Walmart+ or what not. I was like why would I want this. And the FIRST line wasn't about free delivery, cheaper gas prices or some shit, it was 25% percent off Burger King daily. (Guessing they say daily so you don't stand outside and give everyone 25% off on the drive thru.). But still... Why the fuck is fast food charging so much that they can afford to throw another 25% to Walmart.

Just paid 350 canuck bucks for an AGM battery for a regular old RAV4.

I replaced my car battery a few years ago thinking it was just going to be $50. $175 later...

[–] rmtworks@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Can confirm, am also RAV4 owner who had to pay $350 for an AGM battery.

To be fair, they seem to be better than they used to. My car hit 200k not too long ago and still has its original battery. I have no problems with it but I remember having much newer batteries where it was a gamble on cold mornings if it would start. Purely anecdotal though.

[–] ifItWasUpToMe@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

270k checking in, factory battery

[–] greenhorn@lemm.ee 9 points 3 days ago

My car has 130k and I keep wondering when the battery is going to die, because when I was younger they didn't last this long and I just kinda forgot about it until it occurred to me recently.

Don't ever buy batteries from an auto parts store. Find a hole in the wall hardware store or a rural king or something like that and you'll get them way cheaper

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Just go to Walmart lol there's always like 100 free ones in the parking lot

Just need a crowbar and you're golden

[–] vodka@lemm.ee 13 points 4 days ago (6 children)

I just paid ~650usd for a new battery for my Toyota. Though I bought an extra expensive one to have good enough amps for starting in -40c and colder.

[–] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 12 points 4 days ago

Fun fact: -40c = -40f

[–] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 13 points 4 days ago (4 children)

It's a couple of hunks of lead, copper, and sulfuric acid. You got robbed.

My guess is they had 6% sales tax and she rounded down on the output.

[–] HootinNHollerin@slrpnk.net 82 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Wait that’s more expensive per unit than one. Ya gotta throw a dog a bone in bulk.

She’s seems cool tho

The price per battery goes up if you buy in bulk? WTF?

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This is probably some US nonsense where the battery was $220 without tax, and the value at the register for the 99 batteries was with tax.

Needless to say: 🤢

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 7 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Or OP meant to say one was $230 and 99 was $22,000.

Is that with sales tax included?

220 x 99 = 21,780

[–] Jayve@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

5.6% sales tax?

I did something similar in the early '90s, but it was a carved wooden eagle at Busch Gardens. When I hit the sub total button the P.O.S. system for the whole park crashed because it was around a million dollars. lmao
