New Battery?

[cbax5]

Hi,
Where could I pick up a new battery for my X5? I have been searching online and found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm in NYC.

Thanks!

Duralast 49-DL at Autozone. I replaced mine a couple of months ago

I also got a Duralast but I've been having problems with it discharging, mostly because I leave the car at the airport lot for days. I'm not sure if it is the battery or my car causing problems.

Grab one of those solar charges that lie on your dash and plugs into your cig adapter.

How long of periods is it sitting for ? What airport.....as it's getting colder out here in the Garden State.

I did get one of those solar power chargers but maybe it's too small for the big battery, the one I got is .125mA .
I left it at the airport in Jersey and yes it's been cold.

Here in the UK an original BMW battery from a dealer is cheaper than a decent one from a factors

How old is the car ? Original battery ? The ones at AZ are cheap....if I recall relative to the one I replaced it with. There are Batteries Plus In Hackensack I think.

If you're bordering 4.5 years or so, just spend the $90-$120, 30 minutes of your time and call it a day. Unless.....u have some electrical gremlins going in.

My portable Die Hard batt booster pac didn't do the job for me , how much cold cranking amps do we need to have?

I still have a new factory battery sitting in my garage fully charged.

Long story short, the dealer replaced a new factory battery over the summer under warranty but I already had an optima. There quick to blame aftermarket batteries for electrical glitches, so I swapped the battery when the alternator light came on. Of course it was the alternator and not the battery.

I could deliver it for free, if your not too far for $75. Im in zip 11580.
