Battery AC DELCO or OEM FORD
Been recently thinking that 100 packs of ACDelco for AA and AAA are the best value per watt usage
Currently I have ac delco batteries in every car I own. I work at a Cadillac dealership though so I get good prices on them and they're good batteries.
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.
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.
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.
get an acdelco group 47 battery fits perfect is the identical size as oem and is probably wayy cheaper than an oem, i paid 85 idk how much oem ones are
A friend of mine had a 2010 ( or 2009 ) Fusion Hybrid that needed a new battery, he went to the dealer and he was quoted over $8K. He then found $3K 'aftermarket' batteries and at the end he was able to find a shop that did the whole thing for under $2.5K.
Both of mine were defective. Ford replaced them.
In March of this year I replaced my battery for 98 Civic Ex with an autozone Ac Delco one. With the colder days I started to notice slower cranks if the car had been sitting a day or longer.
