My XC90 2.5T AWD is due for a new battery, and I am wondering what the latest conventional wisdom is regarding the best batteries out there. I bought the car used, and from what I can tell from the records that came with the car, it's never had a replacement. It's a 2004 with about 85K miles and Vermont winters. Suggestions appreciated (I was thinking either Interstate, Costco,, or Sears, but I know nothing).

    Volvo also sells batteries and they are around $100. Read the manual carefully about how to replace the battery, you don't want to kill any of your electronics.

    IIRC, Volvo will put jumper cables on the battery cables so that power is not lost during the transfer.

      I'd try a Volvo battery. You may ask why? I've found (in Florida) that i got good life on the battery and that I experienced NO problems with longevity
      or starting. So that's my take.
