John Bacon Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Is there a site or chart where I find equavalent batteries? Mr. Lube recommended an Interstate MT-75 battery for my truck. I figure that I can purchase and install a battery for a lot less than they are charging. Is there a way to determine which EnerStart of other brand battery that would match the Interstate MT-75 battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) It's just a 650 CCA battery with side terminals. (looking at it... + on the left... - on the right) I like interstates myself, and wish we hadn't lost our local dealer. Part Source has a good selection of on the shelf ready to go batteries, in various + / - terminal postions etc. The hard part is finding batteries these days that will use the GMC and such hold down clamps. Suggested retail on the MT-95 is $160.95 ! (list 180.95) Edited November 24, 2014 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one place that sells adapters. Got a picture of what your talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Most of the GM battery trays have a built in lock plate / tab and a bolt down lock plate. I find that most of the "jobber" batteries don't come the right width to use them anymore and you end up playing Mickey Mouse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suspect a GMC with the -75 Yes, a 2005 GMC Jimmy. They actually had to enter my vehical as a Chevy Blazer because the Jimmy was not on their computer. I assume it would be the same battery. Thanks for the tip about PartSource. There is one close to me. Edited November 24, 2014 by JohnBacon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bacon Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Thanks for the tips. The local Walmart didn't the correct battery in stock. I picked up a battery from PartSource. It seems to be fine. I don't have to reset the clock everytime I start the truck now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Most of the GM battery trays have a built in lock plate / tab and a bolt down lock plate.

Eliminators have the little tab at the bottom of battery, works great in my S10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raf Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Interstate are made by Johnson Controls who also make Die Hard, Duralast, Kirkland (Costco), Everstart (Walmart), and Prostart chances are, you get the same battery with a different sticker (and price).

irishfield Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Indeed Raf... but they do build to a $ spec for each of those outfits, so I wouldn't be so sure. We actually have a... musky fishin... Johnson Control employee here.. but I doubt he'll chime in and I don't blame him ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
