July 22, 20178 yr I have an old beater car that needs a battery. I'm looking for either a new inexpensive battery or a used battery that will hold a charge. I really don't want to put any more money than I need to into buying one. Any recommendation? TIA.

That's what I'm looking for. About 1000 THB. Yes, I'm being I 'cheap charlie' on this because I seldom use the car. It's not my primary set of wheels.

A seldom used ride needs a good battery to save all the huffing and puffing when it is needed..

July 22, 20178 yr I can guarantee that you will be 'charged' more for a second hand battery than the charge it will hold.
