Battery Exide or Duralast
You need this one, and it takes about 10 minutes to install. Just hop into the front trunk, unbolt the bar from the firewall that braces the battery -- iirc 13mm. Remove the tire inflator and the box (pulls right out), remove the other bolt, unscrew the two terminals (10mm probably), swap batteries. Done.
Pros: easy to install, 10 minutes

These parts are New. Battery duralast gold
Pros: New battery
Its an AGM battery, once it gets depleted heavily this happen. Just replace it. The factory batteries are made by exide or varta so just seek out a same spec replacement from those brands
Pros: Replace depleted AGM battery
Duralast AGM. No leaking, minimal to no corrosion, god life, decent power, and most importantly it was readily available.
Pros: no leaking, decent power
Got a new Exide battery at our expense outside. Car is fine ever since then.

Just had a 5yo Napa battery die, put a new Duralast Platinum Elite in there, back to running normal except 2 things: 1/ Random engine fan activation seems to be what killed the previous battery. Still happening.

Drive a 2018 Nissan Rogue, about 80k miles. Have a Duralast Gold battery from Oct 2023, but live in central Texas where I hear batteries don't last as long.

Duralast is almost always johnson controls, made in mexico.
Last December, the OEM battery died and I replaced it with a new Duralast battery from AutoZone. Fast forward to today, the car wouldn\u2019t start at all. Had to jump it just to get it running and drove straight to AutoZone to get it tested.\n\nBattery tested good. Starter tested good.\nBut the alternator failed, specifically the charging current test.
Cons: alternator failed charging test
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 31000 km

im honestly thinking of changing the battery to a better one.
Pros: covered under warranty
Cons: dead battery, dogshit
