Cost to Replace Main Battery?

A couple weeks ago, while transitioning from battery to ICE on the highway, the ICE failed to come on (plenty of gas) and my 2013 Volt went into reduced power mode. Long story short, it never ran again. Dealer said total battery failure when checking all three modules. Car has 107K so Chevy refused to assist on replacement costs ($10,000). Regional service manager apparently got no joy from "Chevy HQ". Car value is now zero. Do I have any options? I love the car...

Ugh. You hit the perfect storm on that one. Barely out of warranty. Too soon for there to be many options outside of the dealership network. The suggestion above looks good, but getting it installed is still a major question mark.

How confident are you that they diagnosed the problem correctly? Failure of all modules at once seems unusual.

^ that link seems to be a new battery. I think salvage batteries have been had for the lower price mentioned.
