Battery Review Thread

I thought Autozone had decent prices last summer and then found out Batteries Plus was way less.

Run Autocraft AGM Platinums in my Superdutys, they are great batteries.

This guy tested different batteries and it's eye opening.

I work at a Napa auto care center. We sell AC Delco batteries and have had good luck with them. AC Delco batteries come with 30 or 42 month free replacements, depending on the series. I have Delco in 3 of our vehicles and when the wife's Camry turns 5 it will probably get one too.

Been a few years now, but there was only about three domestic plants making batteries for just about all the brands. Now with all the Chinese stuff I don’t know...

Johnson Controls, which supplies more than half of the market, Exide, and East Penn. So easy, even a 3rd grader could understand.

Interstate, Duralast(Auto Zone) advance and many others get their store brands from Johnson Controls, a major battery manufacturer.

Delco is another Johnson Controls battery.

As mentioned, there are very few manufacturers making all the automotive batteries. Lots of different labels though.
