"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 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.)
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.
Out of experience ive learned that Bosch and Willard batteries are the best and last the longest.... And if u maintain them every few months by adding battery water when the level gets low it could last u up to 10 years
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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 $130.00 and they install for free. I did this last week. Keep your receipt for proof of purchase or they won’t guarantee.
I must say get the Autocraft Gold battery with the highest Cold Cranking Amps. Don’t forget to use that coupon code ordering on line. If you just go into the store to purchase you won’t get the discount.
Charging battery and while taking it out noticed a couple of things loose. I'll give it a lil time then try again. I bought one with Lil less CCA than the other one. CCA 540 instead of 585 . Might that be a problem ?
Great video! Thank you for the help. Just wanted to say I'd like to dispose of my car batteries in the ocean. How else are the eels supposed to charge? Hope this helps somebody out there!
Why am i feeling "donut media vibe" here... It was so weird i had to stop watching... Pls don't be the guy that sounds like other youtubers... Find your own MO
I love the illustrations!
Thanks, Frederick! We aim to please!
Ww#$#wawaass

Dude! Thanks so much for the disconnect switch info! Saved me so much pain !

Thanks for sharing these questions and insights.
"(like, my acura learns my driving style and adapts to how I push the gas pedal, apparently.)" A scary thought....

This guy told us everything except how to choose a new car battery .😂

ok i like this guy, subscribed
Hi, do i need to pay attention to the date when I'm buying an pre filled AGM sealed battery? Thank you.
Are all car batteries the same size? Or do you just have to worry about the CCA number?
nope, very different sizes. it's the MOST important part of buying a battery

Bought an exide battery today, I would like to know what size is yours?
What’s your best advise for a 2019 kia forte ex
I feel like I watched a Science Garage episode from Donut Media. Very informative with the illustrations

what do you mean Compatibility, while i have to only worry about CCA
So helpful and well done

Also you want to check the manufacture date of the new battery. You want one close to the date you purchased.
GREAT information video! Will share.
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.

Can you get Jeff G to swap out my battery?
Some info but not all. Anyways 5 years gone if you still there what do you suggest for VW beetle 1972 bug? Flooded and rating?
The "teen pregnancy" part was such a curve ball 😭
When you say newer, high tech, that's relative, how new or how high tech are we talking?
My car refused to start right at the border after the officer passed back my passport. Great story.
