      Also don't overlook 330 cca (cold crank) lawn and garden batteries. They easily have enough juice to charge a Festiva. Even modded/engine-swapped ones (or so I've read on here). Of course, if you have a huge stereo system, this might not be the best alternative.

      I bought a new (lawn mower) battery for $31 (with a core battery exchanged). Seems the juice on it is just fine.

          Uhhh, WalMart here wanted $110 for the correct battery for the wife's Festy.

          I bought a battery from LKQ for $28 with exchange. It's a MAXX 3-year warrenty battery from WalMart and it's only 1.5 years old.
