What moves the price
- The battery your car needs. Standard batteries cost less than the AGM or EFB types that cars with engine start-stop usually require.
- Where the battery sits. Some are under a seat or behind trim panels, which adds labour.
- Registration. Some newer cars need the new battery registered with the charging system, which takes a scan tool.
- A core charge on the old battery, usually refunded when it is returned for recycling.
