Battery AC DELCO or ODYSSEY

The old battery I had in mine was an AC Delco, model ACD41-60 (I'm guessing size 41, 60-month warranty). Sticker said 685 CCA, 330 for charge. It's raining outside right now and I don't have any pictures of the sticker for my current one. The Delco battery finally died after being 8 years old. It showed signs of aging and being weak for about 3 months before that, and then one of the cells shorted out, so it had about a 5-amp capacity.

So I have the Odyssey 1200MJT in now and securely mounted with their "HDS mounting strap for 1200/1700 series batteries" from West Coast Batteries. It's mounted in the stock location in my 1994 Corrado VR6.

In our shop we have found that the professional line of AC-Delco batteries seem to last the longest. I believe if you check the AC-Delco was what was installed at the factory in your Suzuki, and that lasted 7 years.

I'm a big fan of AC Delco batteries. Every one I've had has outlived the cars I've put them in.

I use a 790cca Odyssey fmj in the summer and just bought a 590cca battery from Autozone and have a 4 year warranty and it seems to perform better than the oem battery that was killed by my bag setup.

I've got two of those now (in the Group 65 monstrosity size) and they live up to the promises especially still delivering at low states of charge. I left the parking lights on my truck on for 6 hours and it still started. I'm quite happy with them and would now recommend them over the Mexican-production Optima.

i did the same thing and i couldnt be happier.

But the best OEM batteries are definitely AC Delco, the GM ones. Routinely replaced them at 6-8 years, longest I ever saw was the original battery of a 97 Grand Prix that I replaced in early 2008.

I ran an Odyssey mini battery in my weekend car, any longer than 2 weeks without driving would drain it. I wouldn't really recommend a mini battery for a daily, if your car doesn't start after 2-3 tries, you might be stuck lol.
