Reply With QuoteAutozone carries the Wesco battery under their house brand name for a reasonable price. That's as close to the OEM spec battery as you'll get without spending big bucks, and is what most folks here go with.
Newbie with aquestion...
Hi guys! I'm new here! I just wanted to know if there's a parts store in Dallas where I could get an OEM battery. I went to NAPA and they said they have a replacement NAPA brand. Anybody here uses them? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I personaly like a battery with some amps to it. I'd try to find a small battery that can pump out atleast 900 amps =D
They should go for the same price. I did find a 1200 amp battery to fit in the miata with the stock retainer but damn it was expensive $200 o_0
Blah blah blah!
It's all well and good until it gets a little over-charged and vents explosive gases into your enclosed trunk...Originally Posted by MiataMike

thats never happened to me before
Blah blah blah!
If it's an AGM style battery it shouldn't be an issue, but an old lead acid style opens up a Pandora box of possibilities. Don't forget the neat rust that can form as the Lead Acid batteries tend to vent in an enclosed trunk, big fun! Spent a lot of time on my old '92 cleaning up all the surface rust, and missing paint from the lead acid battery that rode around in it before I bought it.
Another thing that can help is to put a slow charger (2amp) on the existing battery and charge it overnight, that's one way we have gone 5 years on the original battery in our '02.
BTW tjmx-5 what year car ya got???
Thanks for all the replies. It's for my 92 miata.

Make sure you don't put that information in your user profile!
What battery do you have in it now?? If ya go the Auto-ZONE battery route I believe the p/n for a '92 is 8AMU1R.
The battery is a Westco. I'll be checking-out the local Dallas Autozone. Thanks for the info.Make sure you don't put that information in your user profile!
