A $300 car battery is generally within the normal range for modern vehicles, especially those requiring AGM or EFB technology. Many newer cars with stop-start systems or high electrical demand need premium batteries that cost more than standard flooded types. In Sydney, most passenger vehicle batteries typically fall between $220 and $380 installed. Larger SUVs, European vehicles, and stop-start systems commonly sit around the $280–$420 range. The key factor is using the correct specification rather than choosing the cheapest battery, as incorrect batteries often fail early or cause electrical issues.
