Battery Energizer or Duralast
I replaced mine in my 2018 GLE63s with an aftermarket one from Auto Zone (Duralast Platinum). I finally got my start/stop feature back which I had forgotten about and also forgotten how annoying it was to have it ????
Pros: start/stop feature back
Cons: start/stop feature annoying
I have a snap-on torque wrench and duracell keeps doing that, I switched over to energizer and it stopped.
Pros: stopped the issue
Cons: duracell keeps doing that
I did just replace the battery in the Trans Am in the fall after 15 years (bought when I picked the car up - I really got my money's worth on that Duralast). It had never been on a tender and that car sees maybe 1500 miles in a big year. But of course it also has virtually zero parasitic drain. I didn't even realize how weak it was progressively getting until I had a no start moving it out of the garage for a wash. It started so much easier on the new batt, I was actually laughing.
Pros: easier start with new battery
Cons: weak before replacement
Mileage: 2414 km
I'm about to replace the battery on my 2013 acura tl 3.5L, looking for some advice on choosing between two batteries. The two batteries im looking at are the ACDelco Advantage 24FS or the Duralast ProPower Plus 24F-DL. They are similar in specs, same CCA though the duralast does have about 100 more cranking amps and 17 minutes more of reserve time. The acdelco comes with 18month warranty while the duralast has 2 years.
Pros: more cranking amps, longer warranty
Cons: more expensive
Vehicle:
Acura TL
The other one (duralast one) has a better cca and will perform better in the winter months.
Pros: better cca
This is really straightforward to do. I replaced mine last September and was concerned about coding or needing to go to the dealer. My 2017 required none of that. Just take the old battery out and put a new one in. You'll have dash lights on afterwards, but all you need to do is turn the wheel all the way to one side and then the other.
Pros: straightforward to do, no coding needed
Cons: dash lights on afterwards

I replaced mine in my driveway with a same size AutoZone Duralast Gold. With a coupon, I was out the door for less than $200. The car wintered outdoors at a Vermont ski resort and always started.
Pros: always started, affordable price
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
If you actually worked at AutoZone and knew anything you know the duralast golds are decent.
Pros: decent quality
Don't do Duralast...they don't last.
Cons: doesn't last
Name brand but avoid ebay. I bought some energizers and panasonics from more than one (supposedly reputable) ebay seller a while back that didn't last more than a month or so.
Cons: didn't last long
