Hi, do i need to pay attention to the date when I'm buying an pre filled AGM sealed battery? Thank you.

@billkallas1762 Год назад

3 years??......My battery (an H8 AGM) turns 10 years old, in 2023. It has never failed to start in my unheated garage, in a Chicago suburb. I replaced the battery in my last car after 9 years because it started to turn over just a little slower than normal in sub 10F degree weather.

So helpful and well done

@frankmontez6853 3 года назад

Charging battery and while taking it out noticed a couple of things loose. I'll give it a lil time then try again. I bought one with Lil less CCA than the other one. CCA 540 instead of 585 . Might that be a problem ?

@stanferguson4653 4 года назад

"Replace every three years". I've got a USA made Optima Red that's at least 13 years old..., and still works perfectly. But I've heard their quality went down hill after Johnson Controls moved production to Mexico.

I have found my way to this vidoe to replace my optima red battery from 2009

@psdaengr911 3 года назад

Good video almost makes up for the app insisting that I replace the battery every TWO (2) years (contrary to video and the app's battery test) . I've never had a battery that didn't get through 5 Chicago winters without a hint of trouble. I install the RIGHT size one after 5 years and keep the older one on a maintenance charger to jump start neighbors cars. The app also has inaccurate replacement part number information like group 24 batteries for Hondas that use 51R and have battery trays and shrouds that don't fit 24s. BTW all auto batteries sold in the US are made by three companies, Diehards are made by all 3.

Great video! Thank you for the help. Just wanted to say I'd like to dispose of my car batteries in the ocean. How else are the eels supposed to charge? Hope this helps somebody out there!

I was watching another video on this topic and a comment said that, if you have a newer car, with fancier features, that you should NOT use a disconnect switch, as that power is needed for diff things within the car, even when idle, like the touch unlock, and stuff like your saved seat positions, and something about the ecm or w/e (like, my acura learns my driving style and adapts to how I push the gas pedal, apparently.)

Thanks for sharing these questions and insights.

@creationinspired200 7 месяцев назад

So lets say my car online says i need an H8 but i happen to have a very good nearly new H7 and it works or rather seems to work drove for 3 hours home does this need to be an H8 in the end? Will the H7 not be enough? Under powering or overpowering in some way? I do have a European luxury car but it is old from 01 my H7 is an AGM thanks in advance

@nanayobizwax9446 Год назад

Are all car batteries the same size? Or do you just have to worry about the CCA number?

@JewTube001 9 месяцев назад

nope, very different sizes. it's the MOST important part of buying a battery

@7kortos7 3 года назад

well now i know what happened to my car. when this whole pandemic broke out in 2020 i didn't touch my car for almost a month then wondered why the battery died. haha

@nabeelnajumuddin9580 4 года назад

Hi, I have Nissan altima 2009, should i need to get a higher voltage battery ? i mean any difference in numbers from the manufacturer specified. Since my car has some extra electrical parts like few extra interior lights, high powered xenon headlights, angel eyes, LED in headlights stuff like that. Pls advise Waiting for ur reply.

@arthursmith643 4 года назад

Go to Advanced Auto Parts for your battery. Go on line to AAP look up battery. You should get an Online coupon for 25 percent off and they guarantee full replacement 3 years. Your battery should go for about $130.00 and they install for free. I did this last week. Keep your receipt for proof of purchase or they won’t guarantee.

@arthursmith643 4 года назад

I must say get the Autocraft Gold battery with the highest Cold Cranking Amps. Don’t forget to use that coupon code ordering on line. If you just go into the store to purchase you won’t get the discount.

@ahotdj07 2 года назад

Also you want to check the manufacture date of the new battery. You want one close to the date you purchased.

@patkonelectric 11 месяцев назад

I just want to know the difference of Standard, AGM, and GEL some I knpass on to your grate grand kids.ow what setting to us my battery charger on.

@BoriDiori 11 месяцев назад

My car's battery is an Exide brand and dated Oct/16 and today's date is Aug/23. I was expecting you to mention this brand but you didn't. Anyway, it seems like no one has them anymore. 7 years lasted.

@tempsang6092 4 месяца назад

Bought an exide battery today, I would like to know what size is yours?
