vs
Battery OEM Honda or Duracell
The best lead acid type of battery is a Duracell/East Penn hybrid/house AGM deep cell. These have thicker plates and are typically used for RVs and boats. They can tolerate deeper discharge and are less susceptible to damage (AGM). They sacrifice a little instantaneous current output, but that's not needed on an EV.
Pros: tolerate deeper discharge
Cons: sacrifice current output
We’ve always had luck with Duracell in our cars.
Pros: always had luck
When I experienced a sluggish start, it was the battery. In my experience, this car prefers Honda batteries. It’s been going strong for 3 years now. It’s also one of the more affordable batteries.
Pros: starts reliably, long lasting, affordable
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 170000 km
I still get my batteries from the dealership because they last the longest and cost the least, for some reason.
Pros: last longest, cost least
The replacement battery I bought was a Duracell from Sam’s Club. Fit and worked fine.
Pros: worked fine, good fit
Vehicle:
Jeep Renegade
Currently, a bit over 3 grand (labour included), at least for the Civic/Accord Hybrids.
Pros: labor included
Cons: over 3 grand
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I’ve replaced several Duracell batteries recently that had been recently installed within the last few month. We’ve had good luck with power sonic, yusa, and first power.
Pros: good luck with Powersonic
Cons: Duracell fail quickly
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
My company uses Duracells. Do not recommend
Cons: do not recommend
Always like Duracell because I hate that damn bunny. But doesn't matter to me right now because my damn RMR is defective and drains the battery in 3 months.
Cons: battery drains quickly
