Shopping for the best deal on a truck battery includes locating a place offering money for the old battery. If that is not an option, finding a place with a battery recycling program is the alternative. Used truck batteries must be disposed of properly. Purchasing a new truck battery at a store willing to dispose of the old battery at no charge to the customer saves the consumer time and money.

If your looking for a new truck battery I would check out Wal-Mart. They will even dispose of the old one for you. If you looking for a slightly used battery, you can check out eBay or craigslist. However buying used you will have to depose of the old battery yourself which can range from 5 to 35 dollars.
