New Battery is too expensive.....any options?

[Cameron Norris]

I own three chevy trucks....07 2500HD,   02  1500 4wd,  and a 94 single cab.   I use my 02 as a daily driver but i'm starting to have battery issues. How can I extend my battery life or restore power to my old battery for cheap?  I've searched for ways to restore my old battery and come across a video that may help me.  I just need some advice as to whether this would really work since I'm not too savvy when it comes to working on my trucks. Have any of you guys tried this method yet? Here's a link to the video i found, check it out and let me know what you think about it.

Could switch a battery out of another truck not using for a while until you can get another battery for the daily driver

always keep your batteries on a battery maintainer when you dont expect to use the vehicle weekly.... i usually get another 5 years out of my batteries this way..

Agree,

Keep your batteries hooked up to a battery maintainer when they sit for extended periods.

Put a full charge on the battery before hooking up the maintainer.

A vehicle battery is made to be kept charged.

They are not deep cycle batteries.

I keep my ATV and my boat battery charged with this maintainer from Harbor Freight.

Get a 20% off coupon and it's cheaper.

How old is the battery that you're concerned about?

 

Even with good maintenance they don''t last forever. 

 

 

Don't know where the trucks 'live', but storage in a hot location reduces life more than in a cold location.

47.00 to download their book for the magic fix.

 

Walmart battery 49.88.

 

The video is clickbait. Kinda smelling a little like spam maybe..............
