What battery are you guys running? Any lighter weight options?
 

Hi, I am probably going to replace my battery this season as it is still on the original, I'll put the current battery into something else and put it to use instead of tossing it. I have been researching but most of the threads are old.


I have narrowed it down to these as my top choices,
Braillebattery - B3121 - Lightweight AGM Battery $241.49 USD 6118 mount $ 20.00
Braillebattery - i34RX - Intensity Lithium battery $1,049.99 USD
ODYSSEY Performance Battery - ODP-AGM94R H7 L4 (94R-850 (LN4-H7) $307.96
ACDelco 88864542 - ACDelco Gold Automotive AGM Batteries ADO-94RAGM $166.00


Optima Red or Yellow?
I like the Braille B3121 options but the size has me a bit nervous for a weekend vehicle, I do hook car to a tender if it is going to be sitting longer then a week.


I have used Ac Delco / Interstate/Optima red and Diehard in the past.
I have a Die Hard in my truck that is at least 8 years old probably closer to 10 and it is still going strong.


I may put a Ac Delco back in it but which model? AGM Gold? 48 vs 94 Size?


Thank

A thousand bucks for a battery? OMG! Obviously worth it in elite racing, but otherwise?

I will of course recommend what I did: replace the original AC Delco with the exact same thing. The part number is in the OM.

The same

I am not considering the $1000.00 Battery, I just posted their two options, I would rather stay around $200 Range. They did say they average about 15 years from the $1,000 option. I am leaning towards the AC Delco, According to GM's parts list there were 6 Different battery options, My car is covered at the moment so I am not sure which one I have.

I went with a Diehard in the original size. Huge, but I don’t even use a tender and it turns right over every spring.

I'm thinking the Diehard as well. AGM in the H7 size is $209 at Autozone. Seems steep, but I always had good results.

I bought one. Drove it 2x in 3 yrs. Cells went bad. Wouldn’t hold charge. Got a duralast. This way I got a Warranty cause I ordered the AC Delco online.

DO you guys recommend AMG?

In the field I've found that lead acid batteries outlast the AGM batteries...but that's just been my experience. And they're less expensive!

AcDelco 94R or Odyssey.

Been having luck with NAPA batteries. Not sure who makes them. I'm done with Interstate batteries, nothing but issues. Original Delco battery lasted about 10 years.

Same here too...:thumbup:

Original.... :respekt:

Probably go with AC Delco again, Summit has decent prices on them.
