Battery AC DELCO or Duracell

I put in ACDelco and surprisingly it lasted till last week (Aug 2024).

The AcDelco I installed in 2021 December died this morning so I'd say it's good. It lasted almost 3 years and I only park outside + have a whole sound system + aftermarket horns.

I got a Duracell at Sam's Club for around $150, no prorating on 3 year warranty if it goes. Just a new battery.

I'd recommend AC Delco - had 2 batteries from Repco (made by century) for my VZ Commodore Wagon and returned them both for dropped cells within a month of fitting - had no issues with the AC Delco at all, even leaving the car sitting for over two weeks it still started first turn of the key

Don't get cheap ones!

Duracell is your only man

I replaced the OEM battery in my low-mileage 2019 Alltrack S two days ago. (OEM battery was lead-acid 5K0 915 105 D, it was replaced with a Duracell Ultra Platinum SLI47AGM, 600 CCA.)

Just used Duracell. We will see how long they last.

I’m on my 3rd battery since Nov 2021. Every time it has lasted me 1 year and 3-4 months. Not even 2 years.

I don’t have a parasitic drain. I don’t use AC a lot. I don’t jumpstart cars with it. There is no excessive load on it. Yet, they all lasted less than 2 years.

Amaron best, 2nd is solite.

Worst was ac delco. Always gave me 1 year max.

I bought the battery last summer, drove the car around for about a month no problems.

I put the car away for autumn/winter.

Took it to auto parts store last night, checked in in the morning.

Employee brought it out, said it needed more time and put it back on "fast charger".

I come back 4hours later and they're telling me it exploded on the charger??
