Battery OEM Chevrolet or OEM Honda

My '11 Fit had a aftermarket 151R battery. Mine occasionally produced a similar noise such as this on cold day starts. I think the noise stems from the starter, perhaps the starter solenoid that doesn't retract after you release the key from start position. My issue went away after I replaced the battery

Have a Chevy Volt. The battery is only good for 22-40 miles depending on outside temp. It gets plugged in at night and costs $14-18 a month. For the past 3 years we have used less then 25 gallons of gas.

Not many cons. The car is much better on electricity than when the gas motor has to kick in. Much quieter and has a bit more throttle response so I don't like it when the battery runs out.

Yes, very true. The closest you get to 100% SoC, the more the battery degrades. The ideal SoC would be at around 50-60%. But 80% is also good. (My EV has its lowest limit at 80%).

I’d take a Honda battery over a Subaru one any day if the week.

It had a Honda battery in my Subaru for years

Honda batteries (at least the normal-sized ones, not so much the little 151R's) are honestly pretty solid.

We've been driving two EVs, a 2012 Leaf since Dec2011 and a 2017 Bolt since Sept 2017.

In the Bolt we lose about 40% range at -20 and lower. Bu the range is so good to begin with its not an issue.

The stock battery in my 2016 Honda died after four years.

Some of these OEM batteries they choose to use are shit.

Honda batteries suck in general, bought a brand new one from the dealer and it was dead and wouldn't take a charge lol. I was willing to pay the extra cash for oem because I thought it would be better. Nope,
