   You can’t replace car batteries, you just have to get a new car.

   I had a car battery problem last year…I thought about replacing it myself. After the tow, my mechanic proceeded to tell me that my battery was under the back seat. …I eventually got a new car…so crazyred is right!

   Just get the heaviest battery you can find. About 75 lbs. should do it. They’re made of lead, you know.

    Neither. Most are the hard to find “size J” that old cable remotes used to use, although some of your newer import cars use 2 size N batteries.

    I just had the same problem. Took my old one to a junkyard and they replaced it for $20. Works for me.

    If you get a AAA battery, they come out and jump start it when it goes dead. If you get a AA battery, all they do is welcome you to a meeting.

    Just get a 24V forklift battery and a chainsaw.

    Or one of these:

    Oddly enough I haven’t yet seen anybody trying to use some of those locomotive batteries to power a boom car.

    Does anyone else think that with the growing intricacy of cars and technology, that there is no longer a car mechanic but instead a car technician?
