I’ve had an AC Delco marine battery in my 67 Jeep that soldiered on for 12 years, and an “Autocraft” battery in my parent’s car that has finally given up after seven.
Pros: soldiered on for 12 years
Cons: finally given up
Vehicle:
Jeep
I bought my last battery from Menards. They sell AC Delco batteries. They come with a full non prorated 3 year warranty at least they did last year
Pros: full non prorated warranty
AC Delco was good.. lasted 2 years in my old car
Pros: lasted 2 years
I started buying AC Delco, probably now made in Korea. Anyway, 9 years in my Kia Spectra, 7 years in our rarely driven ‘02 Accord, has another in there from a year or two ago. One that was in my wrecked Cobalt, still works but is sitting. Now one for the Cavalier that had a two year old premium Everstart. The place I get the AC Delco batteries from sells a lot of them so they refresh their inventory. And they are also cheap with my business account. Was $120 for the last one, got the better option they offer. But most have been under $90. Although prices have gone up everywhere throughout various product. Just saying, for whatever reason they have been the only ones I didn’t have to warranty out every 2-3 years. Maybe I’m just getting lucky with them for the last 12-13 years. But I got tired of SuperStart and Everstart batteries that I used to go for. Duracell had been good in customer vehicles.
Pros: lasted 9 years, lasted 7 years, don't need warranty
My rec would be to find somewhere that sells AC Delco Gold batteries, that's what I use at my shop and they usually have a very good 42mo free replacement warranty and they're great batteries. As long as you don't buy walmarts brand, you're good. I've replaced like 8 Walmart batteries that were less than 6mo old in the last two weeks. No idea wtf those guys are doing.
Pros: great batteries, good warranty
Cons: Walmart batteries fail quickly
Longest battery I had was from AC delco, lasted 10y! But apparently they are different now.
Pros: lasted 10 years
Cons: quality changed now
Worst batteries I've ever had the misfortune to buy. Both died within the space of 3 months and wouldn't put out any power whatsoever. No matter if I tried to charge them, it made no difference.
Cons: died within 3 months
I'm gonna 2nd the AC Delco recommendation. I have had nothing but issues with Duracell's leaking. I have never had an issue with AC Delco. Its the only battery I buy. The best.
Pros: no issues, the best
Cons: Duracell leaking issues
Saudi made AC delco batteries lack quality. Amaron and Varta are much better.
Pros: much better quality
Cons: lack quality
Vehicle:
Infiniti QX80
