Battery Brand Recommendations? S70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be oak on  Thu Jan 8 15:28 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Hi,

I was out of town for a few cold days and came back to a dead battery at Chicago's O'hare Airport and want to replace it. A simple jump start got me on my way. No lights were left on, and on a previous cold day I noted that it cranked slower and I thought to myself I need a new battery but forgot.

The battery is about 4 years old and am looking for suggestions for a replacement. I don't know who makes the Volvo battery, but I'd like to try a different brand. I like the car and plan on keeping for another 3 years. I'm at 59,500 miles and about to get the 60k service. The winters get cold here and the car is kept outside so I need something with plenty of 'cold cranking amps'?.

It's a great car, I've had no major problems with it and am very happy with it. If they kept that S70 type bodystyle, I'd buy another one in a snap.

Thanks.

Oak
