Ahh...super duty tricks

 

Took pete for an oil change and he wouldn't start when I went to leave. They said there's a weak cell. Went to advance auto and they said it was a rear mounted battery, which is why it cost 110 bucks.

Was like wtf!? Rear mounted? You must be confused.... Turns out I'm just an ignorant ass.

 

this thread is awesome, im a M-B tech and benz puts most of the batteries in the trunk of cars, well they are everywhere now. I didnt even know my battery was in the trunk on my HHR but its pretty cool that they did it.

S-class - one under the hood and one behind the rear seat
E-class in the trunk
C/GLK class under hood
GL/ML/R under the passenger seat (be happy yours isnt there!)

like someone said being inside the car is better for the battery

 

That actually has nothing to do with why it costs 110$, so he wasn't in the right on that either.

 

Well, it was Advance Auto..... You expect them to know something about cars?

 

M2006 2lt orignal battery but when it is time I will get an AGM Sears has one not cheep about $198.00 they dont vent, as the stock that came with the HHR has a vent, as 4% of volume of Hydr0gen you have a bomb.

 

The HHR battery is vented to the outside with a tube..

 

Well yes it is a plus. I work at AAP, and myself know "something" about cars lol.

 

I always make a stab at auto parts places..... You have to admit some of those guys are pretty clueless (not all obviously)

 

Oh but of course, when I was at the shop I joked about them too. Now I am a parts slinger myself and still jab at em/us.
