Battery Duracell or OEM KIA

Am folosit la cheie de mașina cu keyless go & entry, cele de la auchan țin maxim 4 luni, indiferent că folosești cheia sau că o ți in casa (daca e rezerva), cele de la Duracell țin un an și ceva.

I got a Duracell at Sam's Club for around $150, no prorating on 3 year warranty if it goes. Just a new battery.

when we bought our 2024 Kia Sportage hybrid, the salesman was showing us around it and got around to popping the hood, I did not see a 12 volt battery.

Don't get cheap ones!

Duracell is your only man

I replaced the OEM battery in my low-mileage 2019 Alltrack S two days ago. (OEM battery was lead-acid 5K0 915 105 D, it was replaced with a Duracell Ultra Platinum SLI47AGM, 600 CCA.)

Duracell flooded lead acid would be a good choice and around $200.

Another is that the OEM Kia battery just sucks…they fail. The fix is to get a new battery that doesn’t suck. Kia will replace the dead one within warranty but you’ll get another dodgy OEM battery. Most people seem to trend towards buying a good AGM aftermarket battery for this.

Well it's 30 months old and is still 6 months under the pro-rated warranty. Took it to a dealer, they replaced it and said it would be 226 dollars! I asked if they checked the warranty and the technician stepped away and came back 20 minutes later. "kia corporate declined the warranty on your battery".

Duracell killed 6 pieces of electronics of mine over 10 years. If you paid me, I would not use them.

We refuse to buy Duracell. They leak and are awful. Never again.
