Where is a good place to get a replacement battery that doesn't cost an arm and a leg? TSC has Exide batteries...any reviews?

Same here. NAPA batteries have been good for my equipment.

I just replaced my Deere 4400'sbattery with one from Interstate...about $82.00.
Main thing I needed was one the fit the existing clamp down locations. It's just a standard automotive battery and I hope it holds up as well as the replaced battery (which was 7 years old).

Check the manual for "size"- cranking power, amps/hour, whatever. Too "small" and it can cause starter problems. My JD 850 calls for '475 amps cold cranking'.

I have had good luck with the EverStart batteries from Walmart, however, couldn't find one to fit my 2520.
So, I went with an Exide from TSC, which has the correct hold-down points and the price was right (in the $90 range). I have had it in there for a couple of years, and had no problems.

If my manual calls for 550CCA will it hurt to move up to one that's in the 750 to 950 CCA range?
