Battery AC DELCO or OEM Honda

Just recently replaced the 9 year old AC Delco battery in my Impala when it finally went. Was working just fine, then went to start it a few days later, wouldn't crank.

My '11 Fit had a aftermarket 151R battery. Mine occasionally produced a similar noise such as this on cold day starts. I think the noise stems from the starter, perhaps the starter solenoid that doesn't retract after you release the key from start position. My issue went away after I replaced the battery

It’s a battery. It doesn’t make a difference. Find an ACDelco one. They usually last the longest for the best price.

Yes, very true. The closest you get to 100% SoC, the more the battery degrades. The ideal SoC would be at around 50-60%. But 80% is also good. (My EV has its lowest limit at 80%).

I’d take a Honda battery over a Subaru one any day if the week.

It had a Honda battery in my Subaru for years

Currently, a bit over 3 grand (labour included), at least for the Civic/Accord Hybrids.

Amaron best, 2nd is solite.

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

I have two Honda City and the first one had the battery changed after the first year, I knew this wasn't normal and Honda insisted that's perfectly normal.

It all boils down to the idling stop feature, to allow that feature these cars use a specific type of battery, but even then the idling stop completely destroys the battery, on top of being useless.

Replaced battery in my 2012 Chrysler 200 - after being in car 12 years - yes original battery - bought car off show room floor. Replaced with AC Delco 580 CCA - as per manufactures specs - exactly 2 months to the date - battery absolutely DEAD !!!!!!
