Best place to buy one online? Does it really matter the brand?
 
eBay. Or Amazon. I always compare the two And I’ve had reg and agm. Both last the same in my opinion. Don’t go to the store. 40-50 online. 100-120 in the store.
 
I’ve had good experience with BatteriesPlus. Buy online, use their coupon, and pick up at the store an hour or so later. In my experience you need to stick to the same size battery (casing), else the OEM strap will not hold it in place.
 
Question how old is it? After 2 years they get low on water I know it is a sealed battery but I add water to them and they last another year or longer
 
ok pull the top strip and look in the cells if there is no water it won't charge either

Absolutely the best. AGM batteries, 24 month warranty ( and they honor it completely), very reasonable price, free shipping!

 
OK Jeff, tell me how pouring water in suddenly revives the charge? Interesting for a dummy such as myself.

If you say so but it worked there and I had nothing to loose by trying it and if you don't believe it that is your problem so you pay for the polygraph and I will welcome it and then you will look foolish for that comment. Also I did the same thing once for my daughters car when it was low on water and would not crank over , brought up the water and it worked fine.

My advice to you is look in the cells and if you do not see water over the the top of the plates in the cells add water and bring it to the correct level and try it you just may be very surprised. The issue with sealed batteries is no one can inspect the water levels in the cells and being very low will keep it from developing the power you need. And if you want to see if a cell is bad use a set of jumper cables hook them to the battery with the cells open so you can see in them and if one cell bubbles when you connect the other ends ends and short the battery that cell is bad.

@Cobra Jet Steering LLC Snarky as usual; I was just wondering how putting water into a dead battery suddenly revived it without having put a charge on it. Glad it worked for you; I was just curious.

Haaaa go do it I bet there is no water visible in that battery, open it up and look then fill it with water and see how it works no water it can not work. don't wonder just do it for the hell of it take a volt reading on it now and after you fill it with water and see what happens.
 
Or spend 53 bucks (10% off coupon of course) from the recommendation above and have it delivered to my Maryland beach house; swap it out; and not sweat it for the season.
