I tried Costco, and they carry nothing. Any recommendations? Trying to keep the $'s spent at a min right now, but it is getting pretty weak....

I got a New Energizer Battery at Walmart for Under $100 I think.. cheers & Hope that helps Martin 98 Contour V6 MTX CTA Exhaust/CTA Intake/MSDS Y-pipe/Bat Handling Kit/Predator Alarm/Spec1 Clutch Kit/SVT Flywheel/G Assurances Fix your car yourself "It's not a UFO."

If not, I may have to look into that Thanks Erik 95 LX/SE V6 5 Speed NUN 1 http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/588083 "The Contour SE is the best American car I have ever driven and one of the best cars period."

I was hoping to get one more winter out of this battery, but it did not quite make it.....
