Odyssey makes the best. Optima for a middle end battery.
I have used exide battery+inverter for >10yrs and is still going good!
Amaron does last a whole lot longer than exide which just starts giving issues after warranty period. I had an issu in both my car and bike previously dues to exide. Switched to amaron once and did not give any issues till now.
Amaron all the way! I've always had to replace my exide batteries way before their actual expiry and their warranty claim is pathetic.
Both my Unicorn 160 and Access 125 have Exide. Zero issues.
Amaron is better, Exide has too much crank and start issues
I have amaron in scooty, Exide in Suzuki Gixxer and in my swift.
The Exide in my Gixxer laster 5 years plus! So I guess that's nice
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.
However if you bought an Exide battery, 100% it's your issue: I have had three batteries replaced under warranty on my BMW until I said "basta" and bought a Yuasa out of pocket. The amount of weird issues those junky batteries caused was beyond belief.
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.
