Preferred battery replacement?

interstate because there is a distribution center nearby with a store front that will install in 5min. or less.

there are only 2-3 battery manufacturers that make all the difference brands. so selection is all about type & specification - not brand…

battery life is easily 6 years. it’s all about care & maintenance.

If you can afford it, a lithium battery like an Antigravity would work.

If your car comes with a lead acid battery you'll want to do some research before installing something other than that. There's a reason why they have a switch on battery maintainers/chargers for lead acid and other batteries like AGM's. The charge rate/voltage is different.

Ain't no battery lasting you 5 years anyways.

The OEM Panasonic batteries in the NA and MB MX5 (Miata) were renowned for lasting 10-15 years plus.

We are 12 years in on our Skoda Octavia vRS wagon and had our first battery change 2 years ago. My old RS3 also was 8 years on the original battery when I traded it on the Z.

I wish we could buy Panasonic batteries in the US directly.
