Factors That Affect Car Battery Prices

Compared to many other car maintenance costs, replacing your car battery is relatively affordable. So how much does a car battery cost? Car batteries can cost anywhere from $50 to $200. Battery prices vary greatly depending on the type of car battery you choose, the battery size, and where you purchase the battery. If you find yourself stranded with a dead battery, you may have to factor in the cost of a tow as well.

How Car Battery Prices Are Determined

Car Battery Type

Premium batteries with longer warranties and better cold-weather performance (especially ones for luxury vehicles) tend to cost more than typical car batteries.

Car Battery Size

Car batteries are available in a variety of sizes according to your car's make and model. After all, a new car battery won't do any good if it doesn't fit in your vehicle! Common battery sizes are 24, 65, or 75. If your car requires a unique battery size, or a much larger size, the cost may go up accordingly.

Installation

Most auto shops provide free installation when the battery is purchased from them. Other battery retailers may charge for installation depending on your vehicle make, model, and year, and the location's hourly rate. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we'll replace and recycle your old car battery free of charge when you purchase a new battery at any one of our more than 1,700 locations.

Warranty Length

Our batteries come with varying warranty lengths, all of which are honored nationwide. Other battery retailers may charge an additional fee for extended warranties.

Recycling Fees

Battery recycling is part of our commitment to our customers and the environment. We offer complimentary battery recycling with the purchase of a new car battery. Keep in mind that some states, like California, charge a battery recycling fee.
