Battery Energizer or Duralast
I drove over to Autozone and asked to borrow their battery/alternator scanner. CC amperage was way down, so just threw a new battery in there, and all is good. Ended up costing $230 even with tax, and $22 core charge credit for their Duralast with a 3 year warranty.
Pros: new battery, all good
Cons: CC amperage way down
Vehicle:
Kia
Just a heads up I had same issue with my Titan and it was the battery. I purchased a cheaper battery and 6 months in I get only a click when trying to start truck. Sometimes would start sometimes not. Then I bought the same battery again to see if that would fix the issue. This time it didn\u2019t start at all with the same type of battery, tested 100% charge and 100% battery life. So I said let me try buying a better quality battery just to see if anything happens, sure enough the truck started. It has kept starting ever since.
Pros: truck started, issue fixed
Cons: cheaper battery failed
Vehicle:
Nissan
Duralast is a decent brand, I’ve always went with the gold, no real reason just that it’s what was in the car before.
Pros: decent brand
I typically use what is shipped with the packaging. Most of my red dots are trijicon and they ship with energizer so I will continue to use it. I feel the companies do their own testing trail and error with battery life and usage at all power levels under all temperatures.
Pros: good battery life
Energizer. Better QC than Duracell imho.
Pros: better quality control
Duracell lasted 18 months on my RMR 3.25 Type 2 on auto setting, Energizer lasted 23 months on same setting!
Pros: Energizer lasts longer
Cons: Duracell shorter lifespan
Both Duralast Golds. Went with Neverstart AGM from wally world about 2 months ago.
Last December, the OEM battery died and I replaced it with a new Duralast battery from AutoZone. Fast forward to today, the car wouldn’t start at all. Had to jump it just to get it running and drove straight to AutoZone to get it tested.
Cons: car wouldn’t start
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 31000 km
Energizer is a shit battery. I had to put an Energizer one out of no options and that barely lasted a year.
Cons: barely lasted a year
This is the worst battery i tried, Enegizer lasted less than a year, maybe around 6 months only and it started dying.
Cons: died in 6 months
