vs
Battery Duracell or Duralast
I've had good results from East Penn Duracell at Sam's Club. I just replaced one nearly 8 years old.
Pros: good results, lasted nearly 8 years
The best way to check is to go with a multimeter and get the highest voltage/closest manufactured date. Duracell might just be EverStart rebranded BUT NO the Walmart battery will last around 1-2 years, maybe less. If you want to make sure your covered with a good battery, that’s when you go to Advance Auto or AutoZone and get the battery with 3 years of warranty and swap it out right before the 3rd year ends and I find the batteries last me forever.
Pros: last forever with warranty swap
Cons: Walmart battery lasts 1-2 years
The best lead acid type of battery is a Duracell/East Penn hybrid/house AGM deep cell. These have thicker plates and are typically used for RVs and boats. They can tolerate deeper discharge and are less susceptible to damage (AGM). They sacrifice a little instantaneous current output, but that's not needed on an EV.
Pros: tolerate deeper discharge
Cons: sacrifice current output
We’ve always had luck with Duracell in our cars.
Pros: always had luck
Duralast AGM. No leaking, minimal to no corrosion, god life, decent power, and most importantly it was readily available.
Pros: no leaking, decent power
How's the Duracell Vs the oem? I have 6 battery to buy (2 per pack) for a similar ups (1300va from apc with same lcd).
Both Duralast Golds. Went with Neverstart AGM from wally world about 2 months ago.
FWIW…. I’ve had 3 Duracell batteries and all have died within 3 years of manufacture date, and they have a 2yr warranty.
Cons: died within 3 years
I'm not putting a Duracell in my car, they can't even make a double A that doesn't leak within the year.
Cons: leaks within year
Power Sonic or Yuasa. Duracell is great for lots of service every year after an inspection. Never seen them make it to the next inspection alive.
Pros: Power Sonic or Yuasa
Cons: Duracell never last
