When you say, \u201ctwo new batteries\u201d are you speaking of the big ones? There is a small one that operate your convenience/comfort items. It looks like a small garage door battery.
I use Deka for all of my cars and they take Minnesota winters like a champ
Pros: takes winters like champ
Tdi Touareg (mid 2000s) battery fits, with posts recessed and in the right place. Dealer price used to be like $115 and they are solid 900cca performers.
Pros: solid performer, 900cca
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Touareg
Optima Red Top has been treating me well.
Pros: treating me well
My battery in my Toyota echo is from Toyota and it’s like 12 years old and still starting at -35C so I’d say go with Toyota genuine
Pros: still starting at -35C
Vehicle:
Toyota Echo
I like AGM batteries. Using optimas now, whenever these finally die I'll try another brand. 4 years in now and I can't notice any loss of capacity yet. They work amazing when it is like 0 degrees F, too.
Pros: no loss of capacity
Since the battery weighs ~40 lbs this isn't really a significant weight change from front to rear so I've no idea if the car handles any differently. Would I recommend this mod? Probably not as it's not cheap and has no real performance advantage and more crazy than anything.
Pros: frees up engine space
Cons: no performance advantage, not cheap
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Don't do Duralast...they don't last.
Cons: doesn't last
However, I have had nothing but bad experiences with Exide batteries. I've bought three, and all have died within 2 years.
Cons: died within 2 years
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
