Best options in Battery Park:)

[RedArrow]

Hi guys. Verified a few things after a no-crank morning fun and looks like my Napa battery is getting tired.
No sticker on it. What to buy, what are the needed/suggested minimum specs? Dont want cheapest one but the reliable...NYState has hardcore Winters.
What's your experience? Owners Manual doesn't have battery specs.

Was hoping you would get some replies.

My 1982 has an Interstate that is at least 8 years old... still ticking but the day will come soon when it needs to be replaced.

Thanks Tom. I did figure out that it was a Napa 7549 battery. Dated 2007 on the sticker.
It would not hold/or even receive any charge. And my cluster was out so what was I expecting btw? Long story but i had to get another battery.

I Decided to get the very same Napa 7549. No issues, I hope, because it has a yr warranty and they took my shitty one for $20. I paid 152-20. Additional warranty is 1.49per month if needed, after the year passed.
This thing is super-strong. 1150 ca.

I love it and the car is very happy. Also, my alt is back to work as it should. I took it all apart.

Oh, best timing, ...my engine harness simply gave up too. All things are connected so im thinking that it had something to do with my cluster&battery problems. My ign switch just gave up too, finally, now replaced.
Our engine harness is truly biodegradable in these volvos. By now it is 30-31yo. Time to go. I could not believe my eyes when i inspected the harness at multiple spots!!
I Ripped it all out so I must build a new one properly now. I made my drawings and took the necessary measurements and several pictures. The wires are in the mail. I Will make a thread about it. If i ever had time! Im Missing the forum btw.
