Dead Battery S70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be Kenny on  Wed Sep 11 12:35 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Bru,

That occurred to me last month. I am now on my 3RD battery. The first battery
went in August 2000 ( roughly 3 years after I brought the vehicle ).

I totally agreed with the other Volvo owners that it is not worth your time to drive the 100 miles to your Volvo dealership. Go to your local automotive shop
and drop an Interstate battery into your Volvo !!

Given the choice, I would have put an Interstate battery into my '98 S70 too, but I needed the S70 for some personal reasons, so I had no choice but to tow it back to Volvo and get a brand new Volvo battery installed for a low price. That is after my Dad gave the service manager hell.

Now I know ... In 2 to 2.5 years from now ( if I haven't traded in my Volvo for a BMW 5-Series by then ), I will installed an Interstate battery in my Volvo, as I know Volvo battery won't last for more than 2.5 years.
