Bought a "Premium" battery at Sears. The salesman told me that it is the best they have. When I got it home my dad notice that it had 675 CCA which he thought was not that great, especially for $60. Should I return it and get something better?

what do you expect to be starting? a diesel?



that kind of CCA is way more than a elantra needs to turn the starter

what do you expect for $60? a "good" battery will cost $150+

Isn't the stock battery 700CCA? It's a 124A style battery too I believe (for a 2001 Tiburon).

If it starts your engine for two years it was $60 extremely well-spent. What else do you want from a low dollar battery?

The OP lives in an area that gets extremely cold winters. He will definitely want something with more cranking power when temps get down to zero or below. Try and find something in the 750-800 range if you can to be safe.
