vs
Battery Deka or Duralast
I've also had great luck with AutoZone's Duralast Gold/Platinum batteries and they have better warranty than most others as well.
Pros: great reliability, good warranty
I've always been a fan of Deka batteries, their ETX15 should be the correct battery.
Pros: good batteries
Part number: ETX15
My last battery was a Duralast Gold and it lasted 7 years.
Pros: lasted 7 years
Picked up a Duralast Gold from Autozone back in July for my GLI. $155 after returning the OEM battery for the core refund.
Pros: core refund
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Deka aka East Penn is the best battery manufacturer out there. They dont leak as much, they last typically 3-6 years depending on circumstances
Pros: best battery manufacturer
Cons: depends on circumstances
I had my battery moment on my 2011 Outback, I bought a Duralast Gold 640 CCA and it's been working fine ever since.
Pros: working fine ever since
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Just replaced a Duralast (Autozone?) yesterday in my Silverado. It was from 11/09. It had a pretty good run in several vehicles of mine.
Pros: pretty good run
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Silverado
I'm using Deka. But it's a good choice. I haven't any problems with it.
Pros: good choice, no problems
Got a Duralast (I'm not driving an hour round-trip to the f'ing dealer to overpay for a battery). Another inconvenience on newer cars that's completely unnecessary. Really aggravating. Hoping it clears itself out shortly.
Cons: inconvenience on newer cars
Switched to a stock mk5 4cyl battery though as the Deka couldn't handle sitting for more than a couple days without being on a trickle charger.
Cons: couldn't handle sitting
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
