Battery?!

[Smasal]

Which is better?

Never heard of either but DieHard and Bosch are the ones I used

Everstart is walmart. Never heard of the other one.... The walmart one does the job

Next pay check I'm gonna invest in a nice one. This wal Mart one seems to make the voltage meeter bounce. Very odd. Alternator maybe needs a look at.

Are you using the batt only as a starter batt or for a bunch of electronics and other stuff that will drain your batt?

Only starting

Yea u probably need a new alternator. When mine was out it wluld just run off the battery and it would not really work too good.... It was on a pos ford btw

 

[Smasal]

Well that doesn't bother me too much. I know I can pull the alternator and have it tested to be good or bad. Then go from there.

The Walmart Everstart actually gets really good reviews. I've used them in a few vehicles over the last few years with no problems and easy replacement for the couple that have gone bad.

I used to use only Optima red tops although the last few I've had weren't very good. The first one was still kicking 7 years after I purchased it. The next couple only gave me a little more than the 3 year warranty before needing to be replaced.

The next batteries I'll buy will likely either be the Walmart Everstart or an Interstate brand.

My ever starts make it around 3 years.

red top Optima! worth the $$
IMO...

I'm glad im not the only one that has the same reviews about the Red tops. The price went up and the quality went down. (Just like everything else)

I don't think I will buy another after the ones I have now die.

My Chevy shop told me that AcDelco was the only recommended battery for my truck. But I guess that is one way to sell their own brand of batteries.

My Chevy shop told me Chevy never made a license plate bracket for the 00-06 Tahoe....funny how many I've seen on every tahoe/yukon/sierra/silverado since they told me that.

If its a just starter batt only, anything that will fit under the hood will be fine. I have a carquest and its pushing my 1900 watt system. I'm going to get a diehard platinum this week though. Oddly, I can't find any specs on the carquest like cold cranking amps or amp hours. It would be nice to know to see exactly what my current batt will do. I think I paid like $130 for it installed when I got an oil change a few months ago. I might sell it if you want to buy it.

Sears Diehard is the only one i will ever use. All my trucks and cars get them. They are great and the warranty is great. What a difference it makes when you use a good battery.

 

[grayhoe00]

[brassknucklemafia]

I'll +1 this, if only because Sears has one of the best warranty/return/exchange policies left in the country and I've never had an issue with them honoring it.
