Battery AC DELCO or Energizer
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.
Funny enough I also have an 18 Elantra and had my battery replaced recently from Costco. What I got was a:
- H6-AGM
- 760/120/70 cold crank amps/reserve capacity/amp hours respectively
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.
Recently i was able to acquire some Japanese Energizer 2300 and 800mAh AA and AAA batteries...from my experience with the Energizers so far they are much much better then any other NiMH battery I've ever used including the Chinese Panasonic NiMH batteries.
I have the Energizer battery in mine. It's worked perfectly so far. The included posts are plug and play with the i3 terminals.
So now I will only use Energizer and Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloop bateries I use these rechargable ones in more expensive devices as they do not leek but have had great success with energizer and their max alkaline bateries both stored and in devices and none have leaked.
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
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.
