Battery Exide or OEM KIA

This one looks like it’s in very good shape, I’ve seen similar for sale for $200 to $300 but the couple I’ve seen at auction sold for $80 and $110 if my memory is correct. Both where in much worse shape than yours.

We’ve been using Luminous inverter with an Exide battery for about a year now. No issues so far, works well to provide backup for about 4 hours.

Been pretty happy with my Exide/Durastart batteries. Have yet to see one die. Been using them for the past 5-6 years.

Last batteries I’ve owned where Exide Sonnak, very happy with price, longevity and performance.

Exide are good made in usa

Learned that the battery in the Sorento was incorrect. Replaced with correct battery. All is right in the world.

I just purchased an Exide battery at Home Depot yesterday for my 2002 Jetta Wagon. It was only $109.99.....about $50 less expensive than anything comparable in any of the big 4 parts stores, locally. It also has the best warranty of all of them (3 year replacement).

installed new Exide EK950 AGM 95AH to replace same model been there 3years. No change, and also former battery checks to be in nearly new condition still with measured 90AH capacity from fully charged to 10,5v 9hours with 10Amp load.

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".

However, I have had nothing but bad experiences with Exide batteries. I've bought three, and all have died within 2 years.
