Battery Exide or Energizer
I had an Energizer battery last 13 years in my ranger. Problem was when it came time to change it I couldn't find them anywhere.
Pros: last 13 years
Cons: couldn't find replacement
Bought my Energizer back in 2013, haven’t let me down once :)
Pros: haven’t let me down
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
Last batteries I’ve owned where Exide Sonnak, very happy with price, longevity and performance.
Pros: price, longevity, performance
Exide are good made in usa
Pros: good quality, made in USA
I just purchased an Exide battery at Home Depot yesterday for my 2002 Jetta Wagon. It was only $109.99.....about $50 less expensive than anything comparable in any of the big 4 parts stores, locally. It also has the best warranty of all of them (3 year replacement).
Pros: best warranty, less expensive
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
OK so today I picked up a battery from EuroCarParts, not a pukka VW one but a 100AH Exide Premium one with 5 year warranty. I've had good luck with Exide before so I was happy to go with it
Pros: good price, 5 year warranty
Cons: pig to get in
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Phaeton
Mine went at 32K...just crapped out on me one morning. Luckily I work part-time at a Tire/Battery Garage. Put in an Energizer group size 47 (as stated above)
Cons: crapped out one morning
Mileage: 32000 km
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
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
Vehicle:
Kia
