Battery Deka or Duralast

Duralast Battery

I'm about to replace the battery on my 2013 acura tl 3.5L, looking for some advice on choosing between two batteries. The two batteries im looking at are the ACDelco Advantage 24FS or the Duralast ProPower Plus 24F-DL. They are similar in specs, same CCA though the duralast does have about 100 more cranking amps and 17 minutes more of reserve time. The acdelco comes with 18month warranty while the duralast has 2 years.

Pros: more cranking amps, longer warranty
Cons: more expensive
Vehicle: Acura TL

This is really straightforward to do. I replaced mine last September and was concerned about coding or needing to go to the dealer. My 2017 required none of that. Just take the old battery out and put a new one in. You'll have dash lights on afterwards, but all you need to do is turn the wheel all the way to one side and then the other.

Pros: straightforward to do, no coding needed
Cons: dash lights on afterwards

I replaced mine in my driveway with a same size AutoZone Duralast Gold. With a coupon, I was out the door for less than $200. The car wintered outdoors at a Vermont ski resort and always started.

Pros: always started, affordable price

Last December, the OEM battery died and I replaced it with a new Duralast battery from AutoZone. Fast forward to today, the car wouldn’t start at all. Had to jump it just to get it running and drove straight to AutoZone to get it tested.

Cons: car wouldn’t start

I just upgraded mine a few weeks ago, ended up getting a DEKA AGM 9AGM47 More CCA and far more reserve capacity than the stock battery (120 mins) I was at ~35k miles and my OEM battery was failing fast.. I couldn't leave it in the accessory position without the engine running for more than a minute or two or it would barely be able to crank. The OEM battery is crap as far as I'm concerned

Pros: more CCA, more capacity
Cons: OEM battery is crap
Mileage: 56300 km
Part number: 9AGM47
