What if you're not replacing one?

  Valid concern: it means every possible application of a car battery, if the $300 fee is to be avoided, must involve purchasing a product that already contains a battery. Bad news for DIY makers that need one: they'd need to find a containing product rather than purchasing a battery alone, which might make for a market where fake containing products (to be completely discarded aside from the battery) exist to fill the gap, thus rendering the whole model broken. Is there a solution?

    That's a good point. For me though I have had plenty of cars that only last a few months before I drag them to the junk yard. I've used lots of parts from them for cores to offset the cost of rebuilt parts I need to keep another of my cars going. I've also borrowed the car battery from a running car that I'm not using much for art and audio projects. Considering how much some of them had cost another $300 would not have mattered much.
