Battery OEM Chevrolet or Duralast

I bought a Duralast Platinum H5 AGM. I have read several instances of Subaru of America reimbursement.

Look at a Chevy Volt. Small battery, great for daily drives and gas engine. Hyper reliable. 130k miles with nothing major to note. Cheap repairs because it shares 90% of parts with other models.

It wouldn't be a bad idea. But also you never know. My old car's battery lasted 8 years before I finally had to replace it. Sometimes things just chug along for a long time

Recently installed the Duralast Platinum. One week in and everything is working like a new battery should be.

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.

The bolt (possibly the cheapest used EV available) batteries last well into the 200,000mi lifespan. My insurance lowered $80 when I bought my first EV. My state started charging an extra $150 to register an EV in 2019. About the same as the average ICE owner would pay in gas tax.

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

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.

Never left me stranded besides a dead battery.

Chevy Bolt. Then it was recalled for the battery fire issue.
