Battery Exide or Duralast
I JUST replaced my wife's 2013 Beetle battery with a Duralast from Autozone.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Beetle
This one looks like it’s in very good shape, I’ve seen similar for sale for $200 to $300 but the couple I’ve seen at auction sold for $80 and $110 if my memory is correct. Both where in much worse shape than yours.
Pros: very good shape
Cons: expensive if new
We’ve been using Luminous inverter with an Exide battery for about a year now. No issues so far, works well to provide backup for about 4 hours.
Pros: works well, no issues
I used the duralast from autozone.
I use duralast and get about 4 years on a battery. No complaints at all.
Pros: long lifespan, reliable performance
Vehicle:
Jeep Cherokee
Outback has a Duralast Gold. If it helps, we’ve had some harsh -30°f days the last few years since I upgraded my battery. No issues what so ever on it.
Pros: reliable in extreme cold
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Been pretty happy with my Exide/Durastart batteries. Have yet to see one die. Been using them for the past 5-6 years.
Pros: happy, have yet to die
any experience and reviews on it?
Part number: Q85L EFB 70AH
However, I have had nothing but bad experiences with Exide batteries. I've bought three, and all have died within 2 years.
Cons: died within 2 years
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I usually run the Duralasts just because AutoZone is everywhere and I usually get it replaced twice before the warranty runs out - Phoenix is brutal on batteries.
Pros: widely available
Cons: short lifespan, frequent replacement
Vehicle:
Jeep Cherokee
