Battery LifeI've almost exclusively used Delco batteries and have gotten 7-8 years out of them. A couple of years ago, I started using battery maintainers in the hope that they will prevent sulfation of the plates in the batteries. If the batteries survive beyond the 7-8 years, then I will know that the maintainers are worth the money. I just like the look of a Delco battery in a GM vehicle. Not much of an excuse but the prices are more or less the same except for some of these wildly priced aftermarket specialty batteries. One thing that I have been told is to get the highest CCA rated battery that will fit in the car. The computers get fuzzy brained if the battery drops below a certain point while under load such as when starting the car.
