Hi my friend has a 1998 grand prix gtp and needed a new battery. When he went to pepboys to get one (bc its close) they said it needed a special type of bettery since it is supercharged. Ive never heard of anything like this before is this true? if so what kind of battery would you recommend.

They probably just didnt want to go through the hassel of changing it. Id just go somewhere else.

You should have told them they are retarded and that it takes the same battery and see what they said.

Just get an interstate battery and call it a day
03-12-2012
Yea they won't change the battery... They call it "labor intensive".

You guys are spoiled by this "free replacement" non-sense.
03-12-2012

03-12-2012

Go to Oreillys and get a rebadged Delco which are the Superstart. They are made by Deka who invented the Delco battery design. Get the size 78-84 Extreme and you will get 3 yr free replacement and 84 month prorate warranty. Got mine 2 years ago and went thru winter with no problems at all. Started every time with no hesitation or hassle whatsoever. Get it and you wont be sorry...Originally Posted by BlackFlag

Delcos that I've seen are made in korea.
There used to be plant near me but its closed now.
Gone are the days of the $25 delco batteries.

thats the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard. im sure the supercharger needs a few more cranking amps but definetly wont need no special battery

do interstate. havent had one that didnt last me at least 5 years. and thats including getting through the cold a$$ winters of the chicagoland area lol
03-13-2012
No they don't they take the same battery.
03-13-2012
the only difference is the sc cars get a higher cold cranking amps, (cca) i think mine is 800 vs a 600 for the NA. when i got my new interstate battery they asked if i had a gs, and they said ok its not that one then....and i got what was listed for the GS.

hmm they never asked me when i picked up a battery for my buddies car he said they were the same battery
