Is it worth replacing a 2010 Dodge Charger battery at a dealer or an auto parts store?An auto parts store may cost less for the battery itself, while dealer service includes battery diagnosis, charging-system testing, installation-related inspection, and disposal.
The choice depends on whether you want a battery purchase alone or a broader check of the starting and charging systems. Larry H.
