Battery OEM Honda or Duralast
I\u2019ve jumpstarted my 2019 freightliner from a Honda Accord before.
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Duralast AGM. No leaking, minimal to no corrosion, god life, decent power, and most importantly it was readily available.
Pros: no leaking, decent power
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 bought a Duralast Platinum H5 AGM. I have read several instances of Subaru of America reimbursement.
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Part number: H5 AGM
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
I have gone through two batteries already. They seem to only last 3-4 years on this car - at least in my experience.
Cons: short lifespan
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Both Duralast Golds. Went with Neverstart AGM from wally world about 2 months ago.
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
I replaced the battery on my wives 2009 honda accord. Started her up and it made this awful sound the second the AC kicked on. Bogged down the engine and made it run rough. It has never had AC issues until now and I'm sure it's coincidence with the battery changeout.
Cons: awful sound, engine bogged
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
3 yrs on a Honda battery had me smh honestly.
Cons: short lifespan
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
