Battery Exide or Duracell
My Maruti Suzuki OEM Exide battery lasted 5 years.
Pros: good longevity
Vehicle:
Suzuki
For my Tiago, car came with Exide. And it lasted 4 years.
Pros: lasted 4 years
Swift petrol 2017 model with AGS. The OEM Exide battery lasted until 2022 (5 years). I actually ruined the OEM battery by overfilling it with distilled water ????. Else, it might have lasted longer. Got a Bosch battery after that and it's still running with no issues.
Pros: long battery life
Cons: overfilling ruined battery
Vehicle:
Suzuki Swift
Varta ist nur noch ein Name, Exide habe ich schon lange in Nutzung. Die erste nach 11 Jahren vorsorglich getauscht und die zweite ist jetzt schon seit 12 Jahren in Betrieb.
Pros: lange in Nutzung
The replacement battery I bought was a Duracell from Sam’s Club. Fit and worked fine.
Pros: worked fine, good fit
Vehicle:
Jeep Renegade
I have used exide battery+inverter for >10yrs and is still going good!
Pros: going good, long lasting
Walmart EverStart (make sure it's at least a 2 year warranty. The economy power ones are junk) or you can get Exide batteries at Home Depot for pretty cheap.
Pros: good warranty option
Cons: economy power ones are junk
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
The Exide extreme duty is showing signs of age, it's entirely possible I'll limp it through the next 4 weeks or so and it will get to next winter. It is a 4 litre NA diesel so start demands are pretty high when cold and with the glow plugs.
It 4 years old well past it's warranty period but frankly I'm a little disappointed with it, mainly as the battery is well over and above what the vehicle specifies, it gets regular two hour highway runs (twice a week) and very few short trips.
Cons: disappointed with it
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
