Can Somebody Please Explain to me why a 4Wheeler Battery Costs $85?

I just went and got a new battery for my four wheeler, $85 was the cost. From Walmart. To me that feels like fricking highway robbery. No way should a battery of that size cost that much. Hell, all batteries are wayyyy overpriced. Why in the frick are they charging that much for that?

Sounds like you got a good deal. The last Honda battery I bought was around 100.00. I bought it at the Honda dealer, so that was my fault.

Did you have one to trade in or did you just buy it straight up?

Yeah, I have no idea why. And I traded the old battery in, too. I asked the guy why I was charged that much if I was trading another battery in and he said that they didn't do that anymore or something like that. I'm calling bullshite.

I think ol dude should've given you a core credit.

He did...which was $12

Oh, so you were thinking he should've given you a credit under warranty?

frick, I don't know. I just know that $85 for a battery is pretty insane.

Go buy a 18v Lithium ion tool battery and see how expensive it is. It ain't the size of the boat.....

I bought a battery for my ATV 2 weeks from Advanced Auto because, thankfully, Walmart didn't have the one I needed. I brought my old battery into Advanced and asked the guy if they had any. He asked me if I wanted a precharged battery for $90 or a battery that I'd have to fill and charge myself for $60. I saved myself $30

Because... what are you going to do about it? They have you by the balls. That's why.

Obama shut down the lead foundry in the US that's why all batteries high

Same reason a trailer tire costs $100+.

My battery that came with my kodiak lasted 13 years. I guess I can't get too bummed over $85 for a replacement, but I see your point.

I just paid $140 for a 30 amp interstate battery for my Ranger.

My daughter has a 4 wheeler she only rides occasionally and it seemed like the battery was always dead. I put a lithium ion battery in it and have had zero problems with it. Only paid $70 for it. That battery hardly weighs anything. I just went in the garage and checked and the four wheeler fired right up. I know that was the first time it had been cranked in at least 6 months.
