catdaddy300 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I have had the same battery since i bought the truck all those years ago, and i left my lights on the other day and drained that bad boy and now its not the same any more. So i was just seeing what you guys thought about all these other batteries out there and any recommendations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissfans03ss Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I have been running interstate batteries forever and never had an issue,I usually get 6yrs out if a 4yr. battery. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARTYW Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) I am a big believer in AC Delco batteries, but they are pricey. Same with Interstate. Of the two, i would prefer the Delco. I put a Super Start by Dekka on mine since that is what my store carries, and it has done fine. the Optimas are nice, but rediculously expensive! A group 78 battery with 72 month warranty here runs $82.47 for the Super Start. If you dont mind the extra money, I would put a Delco on it!

JMO I've randomly had good luck with factory Delco batteries as well. I ended up with a used Delco battery from 2003 that was still good and installed it into my C10 in 2009 when I finished restoring it. Its worked flawlessly ever since and always starts right up to this day. If you want something nice though I would go with a Optima Red Top or similar.

f1ss Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 AC Delco stock or AC Delco Pro Series. I was thinking Optima but heard of some issues with them. My AC Delco lasted from 03 to 2011 February. Driven about twice a week from 2005-2008, and started once a week to clear the exhaust and keep the battery still charged from 08-last February.

gmJake Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I'm a big believer in the Autozone Duralast gold top batteries. Made by the people that make Sears Diehards. I have them in both of my trucks. http://www.bestcovery.com/duralast-gold-car-battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
