PRICESMART-EVEREADY CAR BATTERIES

[ADONI]

Steve's Redtop 34 - 800 cca is $1,650 with one year warranty. They sold me this model for a diesel. Had it for one year though, before I sold the vehicle. Couldn't pop meh bonnet in peace. Everybody was like best battery yuh have there. Steups

[air wick]

The only thing with Steves as compared to Pricemart is the warranty also bought a D34 Yellow Top ($1695) this year and only got 12mths warranty.
Pricemart gave 6 yrs on the Redtop (3 replacement and 3 pro rated). So to me it works out better buying at Pricemart even though it is the 35 series.

[ADONI]

Good info to know on the warranty guys!

Picked up a red top (720cca) in Pricesmart chaguanas this morning. $1,379 and 3 year warranty.

Where on the battery do you get the cranking amps (cca) specs ?

Beware of Pmart battery warranty. They have a poster close to the exit. Is like if you tighten the battery pole too hard, they not replacing it.

Although it may see good we have a vehicle bought new from the firm 6 years ago and same battery . so why is it these batteries which we change out only last max 4 years if so long .
Got to say though i am quite surprised the battery in my diesel van is going on 3 years plus

I agree with Psmart, i see some of those poles which was returned and i ask myself how, yet i cannot come up with an answer .
Poles melted , poles broken , some look like they were nibbled on.

But pricesmart had the optima battery last time i was there
problem is they closed on news years day

[hydroep]

Saw a video where people were complaining that the quality/longevity has dropped since they started manufacturing them in Latin America...

[MG Man]

have a Price Smamrt DIN45 spec battery in a Ford Focus about 2.5 years now...so far, so good

Also have the same spec in two other cars that hardly get used....each battery in the car mussy about 4 years...sometimes they run down to stone dead and I recharge them back to normal...now I use a trickle charger and alternate on each car, one week at a time
no complaints wrt price smart batteries

2020 update on Pricesmart Optima batteries, same price, now only 2 year warranty.

Also Pricesmart advertise Group 35 (website/label on the shelf/on my bill) but the battery actually is a Group 38. The poles are a different spacing and hence cannot work on some vehicles. The battery is also shorter although it comes with several adapters for height/width.

Newer Vehicles with large OEM fused terminals (eg. 2014+ Mazda 3) cannot use this if the requirement is Group 35.

longer warranty is nice to have but with optimas u will easily get 5yrs out of them

i have 5 yellows right now that are 8yrs old that came out from my music , in d 1st few yrs they were occasionally used & recharged every now then but past yrs they in regular use , still going strong ...
