Atlanta area: M1009 batteries

[CycleJay]

Hi guys,

Anyone got a pair of good working M1009 suitable batteries they can sell me,
at a fair price?

I believe mine are dead, (I do not think the problem could be anything else).

Please let me know asap...

Thank you...

Throw in a set of Group 24 batteries. Go to a battery supplier like Interstate and ask for blems. You may need to modify your hold downs. Cheaper than 6TLs!

Believe that napa, auto zone, car quest, o'rileys, sears, xyz batteries, local junk yard, advance auto, wal mart will have batteries that will work.

just ensure which ever ones you pickup locally are of the same specs.... you will be fine... I swapped mine out to Duralast ( autozone) 1000ca's last year havent had a issue yet... knock on wood.....

Before you replace them try to have them load tested at a battery place or one of the parts stores.

If you have to replace them buy the highest CCA you can get.......the battery hold downs can be modified to take normal batteries.

I would not buy used batteries since they both need to be the same voltage.

You get what you pay for.

I used group 31 batteries from Interstate. They were what they called "econopower" or something, and are refurbished. They cost me about $35 each, and come with a warranty.

They fit fine in the trays. My truck came from GL with group 31 batteries to begin with, so the battery tray hold down threaded rods had already been moved to the proper location to hold that size battery.

They'll also go dead real quick in the heat if you don't check water on a very routine basis, like every week or even every couple days.

I got a pair of 950 cca batteries from Carquest for around $70 each new. Were you in Palmetto a few Fridays ago? I saw a truck that looked like yours. Civvy batteries work fine, the x2 part sucks at the cash register but that can't be helped.

Hello Timber,

Thank you for the post. I do not believe that was me in Palmetto.
Where is Palmetto?

Besides, I work on Fridays..

But thank you for the battery information. $70 each new sounds pretty good if they will work.
Compared to the typical price of batteries with that CCA.

You are right, the x2 sucks, but true, that cannot be helped.


Thank you...
