Battery

I am have a weak battery in my 2004 S55. I checked Sears, Pep Boys and Optima sites and they don't have one for this car.

Is this battery only available from Dealer or do you know of any other sources?

Thanks.

Here ya go, Walmart. I put a new Walmart battery in my 2003 S55 just the other week. It was $75 for the battery and I had to switch the drain of to the other side of the new battery. Really no big deal. Good luck.

What do you mean "had to switch the drain of to the other side of the new battery"?

Thanks.

When I got my battery there are two holes on the top each side. I had to pull the plug out of one side with needle nose plyers and put it into the other side. Then you plug the drain line into the correct side.
Hope this helps.

What was the part number and how did you size the battery? Was it lighter?

I just looked it up in there little book they have there. The battery was the same size and the same cold cranking amps, 1000 I believe. It also seemed to weigh the same.

I had the battery tested at Sears. They said it is OK but weak. I had not driven it for 2 weeks, so no battery change at the moment. Sears sells this battery for $130.

Thanks for all your input.
