Car Battery Recommendations?

[jwalkerftw]

It’s about time for me to replace my battery. Any recommendations?

whatever’s cheapest and has the longest warranty.

Get the best AGM you can afford, batteries cause more issues when you go cheap.

I was looking at the “Duralast Platinum 48 H6 AGM Battery” or the “Motorcraft BAGM-48H6-760 Battery”

Interstate. No hassle warranty.

Check out the Duralast Platinum.

When mine went bad a few months ago I had no choice but to go to Walmart.
Price was good and a full 4 year warranty. So far all is good.

Walmart Everstart Max AGM. Full 4 year replacement... none of that pro rate crap.

Walmarts open late on ever corner around the country, and as a bonus.... if they do not have a service center the wont even test the battery for a warranty swap.

Mine is 4.5 years old and was replaced under 3/36 warranty at 19 months old free of charge by Ford. I believe the replacement Motorcraft warranty still has some pro-rated coverage left on it. It recently seems like it's dying. The ASS hardly ever works anymore and the status screen says Vehicle Charging.

Go to Batteries Plus for an X2 Power AGM. They’re made by Odyssey who arguably makes the best AGM batteries on the planet, they’re priced right, the warranty is great and they’re easily obtainable.

I second the Odyssey. I have them in all my vehicles. The last 2 in my F350 lasted 11 years, my fusion lasted 8, my Harley lasted 7. In Vegas, that is a very long time. And they deliver a lot of power.

We have a local chain that sells all types. I just make sure it's one of the big three or whatever American-made brands, and it's an AGM obviously. It's usually Deka(east penn) if I can choose.

That’s a good thing IMO
