I believe the stock TL delphi battery has 100 month warranty.. the stock battery has a low cca rating. You're lucky you got this far with it. If your dealership refuses to replace it, trade it in for a new better higher rated cca battery.. most core deposits on batteries are around $15. I traded my shit one in for a DG yellow top a year ago.. It starts with a roar in cold mornings. I think I paid ~$75 at Autozone.. but don't quote me on that.

 

do i have to do anything special if i wanted to install it my self?

 

no.. just make sure you have your radio code available.

 

alrite thanks a bunch i got the radio code

 

Hi All,

Is the Walmart Battery any good for a 2004 TL? Anyone with that experience...

Thanks

 

hello all, i just finished installing my battery for my car i got a motormaster eliminator 875cca battery is that too much cca? and if it is, is it bad for the car? thanks

 

That's just the max CCA. If you are in a cold climate, the more the better.

 

That's all? psshh...








You'll be fine..

 

Yes, I have it. The yellow Everstart Maxx 24F. Has worked fine for the last 2½ years since I installed it. Rated A Best Buy in Consumer Reports. I've accidentally left the map light on for 2 days and the car still starts right up.

No need to spend almost $200 on fancy shmancy brands like Optima. My .

You got the right size, 24F.

 

i would believe so everything fits as it was with the factory battery

 

I personally wouldn't buy shit from wal-mart.

I'm happy with my optima. I've had a yellow top in my 67 mustang for 6 years and it fires up every time. Even during the winter storage.

The red top in the TL is doing very well too.

 

I'm doing a red top too. So I don't need a box in the trunk.....
