Things that influence the cost of car battery
Size of Vehicle
Batteries, like cars, come in different sizes. For 4WD, you will need a larger battery, whereas a small hatchback doesn’t need a large sized battery.
Generally there is more cost involved with larger batteries as they require more manufacturing materials.
Type of Vehicle
Many newer vehicles these days are jammed-packed full of features, which means they have more power demands on your battery.
In newer and luxury vehicles, it is crucial to install a suitable battery because even though the cost is higher, without the correct battery, you could end up stranded on the side of the road! Batteries for Start/Stop cars are critical, and they are very different to a normal car battery. They are designed for repeated high-discharges and specifically for Start/Stop vehicles. It is important to get the right battery for the right application.
Type of Battery
When choosing a car battery, you can choose between standard models and premium ones (although some cars require only premium batteries).
Not all cars require the extra features of premium batteries, but they generally provide a longer battery life, if they are a reputable battery brand.
For a standard battery, you are looking between $150 to $250. With a premium battery, the range is more vast, with prices ranging from $200 to $1000.
Batteries are complicated, so our experts have created guides to help you understand. Check out our Guide To Battery Specs or Start/Stop Car Battery Guide here.

How do I know when my car battery needs replacing?
