I was having a fire the other night out back and accidentally sat on my key fob and set off the panic alarm on my first generation Cadillac CTS. It drained my battery to where the electronics in the car still worked but it wouldn't start. So I put a battery maintainer on it and let it charge to 100% and no dice. Jumped it using another car and it turned right over.

I drove it around and noticed some controls got messed up. Came back the next morning and the car was 100% dead. No electronics on in the car and the key gets stuck in the steering column. I called around regarding the messed up controls and they said it was either a bad battery (not supplying enough voltage to all the components) or it just needed reprogramed.

So I call around for quotes on a new battery.first place I call quotes me at $196.00! I figured that couldn't be right and called around some more.

To my surprise, everywhere else I called had them around that price or didn't carry them at all. I found a retailer online that offered a discount if ordering online with in-store pickup, so that's what I went for. I still paid over 100 bucks for this battery. Pop it in and the car starts fine. Controls are back to normal. My question is: why does my car need such an expensive battery? My dad has an Escalade and just got a new battery for about $99, why did mine cost 1.5x that?

Apple recently determined that a component in a limited number of 13-inch MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar) units may fail, thus causing the built-in battery to expand. Easily replace the battery of any MacBook Pro or MacBook Air and get 50% more capacity versus the original battery. Includes a 1-year NewerTech warranty. 1.800.275.4576 or +1.815.338.8685.

I doubt the excessive drain on yor battery was caused by you sitting and activating the panic alarm. This generally turn off automatically after a couple of minutes and the amount of batter drain from that would be about leaving a map light on for a little while. I feel your problem is something else, one of the electronics in the car is probably failing and causing excessive batter drain. Possibly the body electrical unit or if you have automatic climate control its possible a relay has failed and the fan could still be spooled slowly running off the battery. I believe those caddy's have Bose audio systems, it's possible you have a defective stock amp or the speakers may have little amps in them that have failed as well and is drawing unnecessary current while the vehicle is off. I would take it in and have them run a OBD scan on the electrical system and see if any faults have been logged recently.

Click to expand.I can believe it's the panic alarm that drained it -- as I mentioned above the battery was bad already so it was just a matter of time before it died.

Sounding the horn and lights apparently was enough to kill it. I called OnStar after getting the new battery for an OnDemand Diagnostics test and it came up clean, no error codes were being reported.

There is also no check engine light on so it was definitely the battery that was the problem, not the car's electrical system. Click to expand.What he said, plus there's more. The cheapest car battery I've seen is ~$75. It just gets bigger and more expensive from there. 1) Depending on the size of your engine, you'll need more amps to start it.

More amps typically costs more because it's simply the sheer size of the internal cells and amount of electrolyte (fluid). 2) Depending on where you live, you may need to get batteries which are over-capacity or different tech (despite the chemistry being the same) in order to be able to supply the necessary starting current while it's freezing cold outside. (Most batteries cannot supply their full output when the temperature is low.) 3) Most lead acid cells (this also applies to lithium too), are damaged if drained past a certain point. Some cells are designed to handle this better. But that adds a lot to manufacturing, and hence costs more. These are typically deep-cycle and marine batteries.
