Project Farm did a video on car/truck batteries, he tested several brands, the Ever Start out preformed all other batteries, and the cost is quite a bit less depending on brand. Walmart also has a better warranty on their batteries than most other brands! When the batteries need replaced in my truck I’ll be using Ever Start!

Best way to get the best life out of a battery. Flooded or agm, at least once a week fully recharge the battery or minimally month. Best way to achieve 100% charge for both batteries is to charge each one separately. It's understandable most people wouldn't have the patience to do each separately. Another good investment would to install a permanent on board 2amp trickle charger that you would plug in every night or weekly. Especially during the off months you don't operate the truck.

One thing to be aware of when replacing batteries on vehicles that use 2 or more batteries. If 1 battery is still connected, all the positive cables are energized. If that thing touches a ground, you're gonna get a big surprise. You could mitigate that risk by wrapping a rag around the end of the positive cable while you have it disconnected.

If you go to batteries and bulbs, you can get some batteries called extreme batteries. These will cost you about 300.00 dollars each. These batteries will last you up to seven years with no issues. I had them on my 7.3 and got 8 yrs out of them. It had new batteries on it when I sold it. I bought a 2015 6.7, and the factory batteries didn't last very long. I replaced them on the 6.7 with the extreme.batteries from Batteries and bulbs, and they have lasted 7 yrs and 6 months. Just replaced them for 570.00 and will probably sell the truck with these batteries. Trust me, they are fantastic and handle the heat in Texas very well. No corrosion or having to add water.

Yes, you should check out Project Farm's testing of these. In fact, from what I remember, I believe the lead acid batteries outperformed the AGM batteries in cold starting, and the agm's simply did not perform as well as advertised, given the price - if I'm not mistaken - I watched it a few months ago - (The cold start issue is SUPER important for diesels given their draw requirements).
@richardyao901210 ай бұрын
AGM batteries are lead acid batteries, so saying that the lead acid batteries outperformed the AGM batteries makes no sense. You mean the flooded lead acid batteries. However, that was in how much below the CCA rating that they performed when cold. The AGM batteries have higher CCA ratings, so they can drop more and still perform better. That chart was really not the most helpful chart for determining what is the best battery.

The time standing there while the associates figure out what phone number and the other things if you don't have a legible thermal paper turns black in your glove box receipt is ridiculous. I have several vehicles and O'REILLY and Auttozone have not gotten their extra markup from me in years. Walmart scans the barcode and you are done in minutes. Something that has changed in most stores is that you get one warranty replacement during warranty period if you were to have a multiple failure problem. My neighbor had a new battery fail in 5 weeks. Internal connector failure where the ignition is switched on and all works until you turn to start and everything goes dead. Connections were voltage drop tested and there was no problem but batt V was 0.89 and would come back to 12.73 in 5 min. You could hear a quick hiss when start was attempted from within battery. Costco interstate battery. Costco replaced it and said that was the one replacement with no more warranty. Neighbor opted for money back and then went to Walmart for the battery.

An incredible amount of products are manufactured in the same way as far as 1 main producer supplying multiple brands. However, brands will spec out certain characteristics of a finished product based on price, performance, longevity, or whatever other applicable traits for a certain product. So while a common factory may make them the internals can be vastly different in quality and construction to meet the requirements of the brand selling the product. A buddy of mine bought some walmart winchester ammo long ago and had a few duds in the box. He went to a local gun shop for more ammo and struck up conversation about the ammo problems. The store owner grabbed one of his winchester rounds and put it next to the Walmart round. He pointed out the primers were different colors. Walmart chooses a price they want to sell the ammo at usually to beat out competitors. They tell winchester to make round cheaper to be sold at this price so winchester uses cheaper primers to meet the price requirement. It may still be in the same box design and everything. This goes for basically every product you see in multiple stores at different prices.
