    Buy Car Battery Online?

    Is this even possible? I need a new battery for a car in Cali, and I dont want to be stuck without a driveable car when I get there and take a taxi the next day.

            I dont see any car batteries, marine yes, nothing else.

            Plus:
            Chevrolet
            Ford
            GMC
            Toyota

            Is what they have in the "narrow results by" category. I have a Nissan.

                Are you sure thats a battery youre supposed to use to actually start a car?

                  700 cold cranking amps, a full size chevy truck only needs 1000. for a nissan that one should be more than adequate.

                    http://www.yellowpages-caribbean.com...ries/Colombia/

                    If so there is over 20 places for auto spares, you might need to phone. Only saw one with an email address..

                    Best of luck.

                      Hmm most places that sell batteries will hook it up within a few minutes of purchase.

                            One of my old high school friends who now works at Discount Auto Parts ( ) is telling me to get a Red Top Optima battery?

                            What you guys think?

                              Thats going to be a lot of money for shipping.
