Battery Exide or Duralast

I drove over to Autozone and asked to borrow their battery/alternator scanner. CC amperage was way down, so just threw a new battery in there, and all is good. Ended up costing $230 even with tax, and $22 core charge credit for their Duralast with a 3 year warranty.

For my Tiago, car came with Exide. And it lasted 4 years.

Swift petrol 2017 model with AGS. The OEM Exide battery lasted until 2022 (5 years). I actually ruined the OEM battery by overfilling it with distilled water ????. Else, it might have lasted longer. Got a Bosch battery after that and it's still running with no issues.

Varta ist nur noch ein Name, Exide habe ich schon lange in Nutzung. Die erste nach 11 Jahren vorsorglich getauscht und die zweite ist jetzt schon seit 12 Jahren in Betrieb.

Just a heads up I had same issue with my Titan and it was the battery. I purchased a cheaper battery and 6 months in I get only a click when trying to start truck. Sometimes would start sometimes not. Then I bought the same battery again to see if that would fix the issue. This time it didn\u2019t start at all with the same type of battery, tested 100% charge and 100% battery life. So I said let me try buying a better quality battery just to see if anything happens, sure enough the truck started. It has kept starting ever since.

I have used exide battery+inverter for >10yrs and is still going good!

Duralast is a decent brand, I’ve always went with the gold, no real reason just that it’s what was in the car before.

Ära Exide akusid osta, need hunnik sitta. Varta akud on okeid. Kui autol on start-stop süsteem siis peab kindlasti vaatama kas autol on EFB või AGM tüüpi aku ja vahetama sama tüüpi aku vastu.

However if you bought an Exide battery, 100% it's your issue: I have had three batteries replaced under warranty on my BMW until I said "basta" and bought a Yuasa out of pocket. The amount of weird issues those junky batteries caused was beyond belief.

The Exide extreme duty is showing signs of age, it's entirely possible I'll limp it through the next 4 weeks or so and it will get to next winter. It is a 4 litre NA diesel so start demands are pretty high when cold and with the glow plugs.

It 4 years old well past it's warranty period but frankly I'm a little disappointed with it, mainly as the battery is well over and above what the vehicle specifies, it gets regular two hour highway runs (twice a week) and very few short trips.
