$90 battery--ripped off? 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be 1980 240 owner on  Sun Jul 13 17:00 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I do not know what battery you wound up with but they are expensive.I found that I was not able to locate a battery easily for my 80 240 when they went out and my selection was limited as far as brands.The problem was that the Volvo had the mount tabs on the ends of the battery case insted of the sides. I cured my problem by installing a 1972 Camaro battery tray. It used one or two volvo bolts and If I rember correctly a bolt with a large washer pinched against a rib under the tray.Its been in there at least 10 years and I can get a battery anywhere.
