Battery prices

[mick taylor]

Boy looks like i am going to be up for an new Battery in my car !

Car will now be 7 years old in Jun and now i am on the look out for a new Battery and looks like i will be stung $214 for it. It's a 55D23L.

Last time i got a new Battery was It was $120 for a VY Commodore SS, that was 7 years old, when it gave up the ghost.

Looks like when i bought new cars Battery's last well and i thought how come i never get more that 3 to 4 years out of a new replacement Battery ?

I see NS40Z type Battery's from $159, so i ask why is mine so much more.
