Inexpensive chassis batteries
Our new to us 09 Tour chassis batteries have been a bit suspect...I have been noticing the battery voltage at around 12.4 or so...not sure how old they are but they have a Allied Freightliner sticker on them.
The other morning just a few clicks and nothing...had to use the battery boost to start the MH. We are at Mustang Island, Corpus Christi, TX for the past week. Figured it was time for some new batteries. Called Freightliner in Corpus Christi and they told me they were having a sale on 950 CCA batteries for $70...hmmm that sounded pretty inexpensive but what the heck I took a ride there and checked them out...so they told me they get pallets of these batteries in and they sell out pretty fast. They are made by Johnson Controls and are "mtc free". So I picked up two and installed them...will see how they hold up!
I went to NAPA and there 950 CCA batteries were $125 each...
