$108... At my dealership.
I'd just like to take this opportunity to say my stocker is still kicking around, it's at the 10 and a half year mark.
A lead acid battery typically lasts 5 years. I checked the date on mine. November 2003. So about 6.5 years. Thats why I am thinking about replacing it.
Anyone tried a drycell Odyssey replacement battery? Its the same size as stock.
2.0 and 2.4 motors
Year 2004
Make Dodge
Model Neon
Engine 2.4 Liters 2429 CC 148 CID L4
Description -
BCI Data Book Turbo
BCI Group Size 26R
ODYSSEY MODEL PC1200MJT
Pulse (5-second) Hot Cranking Amps (PHCA) 1200
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) 550
20Hr Nominal Capacity (Ah) 42
Reserve Capacity Minutes 78
Dimensions
L x W X H - Inches 7.87 x 6.66 x 6.80 = Same as stock I measured. Height includes terminals.
Metric Dimensions
L x W X H - mm 199.9 x 169.1 x 172.7
Weight (lbs) 38.20
I can get it for $180 shipped. Would be nice because I can relocate it to the trunk in the future and not have to worry about fumes.

They aren't really dry cells, they are AGM batteries.

Kinetic batteries FTW! They are deep cycle, gel cells that are about half the size of our stockers. great battery
