Battery Duracell or Duralast

I've had good results from East Penn Duracell at Sam's Club. I just replaced one nearly 8 years old.

The best way to check is to go with a multimeter and get the highest voltage/closest manufactured date. Duracell might just be EverStart rebranded BUT NO the Walmart battery will last around 1-2 years, maybe less. If you want to make sure your covered with a good battery, that’s when you go to Advance Auto or AutoZone and get the battery with 3 years of warranty and swap it out right before the 3rd year ends and I find the batteries last me forever.

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.

We’ve always had luck with Duracell in our cars.

Duralast AGM. No leaking, minimal to no corrosion, god life, decent power, and most importantly it was readily available.

How's the Duracell Vs the oem? I have 6 battery to buy (2 per pack) for a similar ups (1300va from apc with same lcd).

Both Duralast Golds. Went with Neverstart AGM from wally world about 2 months ago.

FWIW…. I’ve had 3 Duracell batteries and all have died within 3 years of manufacture date, and they have a 2yr warranty.

I'm not putting a Duracell in my car, they can't even make a double A that doesn't leak within the year.

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.
