Battery OEM Hyundai or Energizer
Reviews
I've noticed the 20xx Energizer series seem to be made in Japan. Refreshing since they don't stink like the Ikea MIC ones.
Pros: made in Japan
Cons: stink like Ikea
I just ordered the energizer lithium fob battery, will see if it lasts longer than the regular energizer which in my case was 3 years
Pros: lasted 3 years
Vehicle:
Nissan Leaf
I didn't get long lasting power from "any brand name". Switching to Energizer or Panasonic did much better, like 2 years.
Pros: better, lasted 2 years
Cons: not long lasting power
Now I stick to Energizer Max batteries, they claim a 10 year shelf life, and I have some that are 5 years old that are still near 100% state of charge, with no leaks.
Pros: 10 year shelf life, no leaks
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
Original battery in my GF’s Elantra finally died today after 10 years.
Pros: long battery life
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
my only option for a "proper" battery was a red top at $150.00. The next best thing was a group 47 Energizer, 590 CCA, 3 year full replacement, 7 year warranty from Sams Club for $65.00. I just dropped a load on the clutch and I don't plan on keeping the car for more than another 3 years. I only use synthetic oil so it cranks easier in the winter anyway. SO I got the energizer.
Pros: 3 year full replacement, 7 year warranty
I went to an official dealership and they told me the battery is faulty, and replacing it would cost around 185 euro, labor included. I checked online and it seemed like in the Netherlands a comparable battery costs between 85 and 120 euro.
Cons: expensive, high labor cost
Vehicle:
Hyundai
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
