![]() ![]() ![]() The DieHard AGM Group 24F battery at Advance Auto is $219, but I don't know about the reliability since Advance Auto bought the brand from Sears. The XS Power battery is definitely the Rolls Royce choice, but you'd have to decide if that extra weight and price is worth it. An Odyssey battery can be purchased for under $300 and depending on which model you get, either the Performance or the Extreme, weigh either 51 or 59 lbs respectively. The price, over $400 (unless you can find a good deal) and their weight, nearly 60 lbs. They also can be put into any position except upside down, for that reason. But they still release hydrogen gas when charged. The electrolyte in an AGM is held in a fiberglass mat, so it won't leak or spill. The Odyssey has 1 and the little Group 51r AGM Diehard in my other car has 2, one on each end. But for whatever reason my car,, first of the 2012 models made, had no thermal sensor." So what about these comments in the feedback I read? What to make of all this?Ĭlick to expand.Not so. They also added "This battery has no thermal sensor, the modification on the Internet is to remove the sensor from the old battery and thermal glue it. Also read in Customer Feedback that this battery is "not vented" and "this battery has no exhaust tube to remove hydrogen gas in case of issues", which could be a problem, they asserted, if your battery is in a trunk that communicates with the Cabin. It says 5 year replacement but in actuality 4 years, and I think I read the Company changed Management too, maybe adding to Quality Control issues?. I live in the SW VA Mountains and like I said it gets in the teens sometimes, and snow. That battery acid will not only sting your skin ( wash immediately soap and plenty of water) but also eat holes in your clothing! Be Careful!Īfter much back and forth I am thinking about this battery: The WalMart EverStart Platinum AGM group size 24F. And is good advice to wear gloves and eye protection when working on battery. I have been able to start since then, but the 14 deg F a few nights before must have hammered my Old battery (plus short stop and start that day), and it will be relegated to another use, not traded in (what a Beast battery. Gotta try again for other half of battery caps when engine warm. I topped off with distilled water the half of the battery caps I could open- was a little low. Hello, I posted earlier in the week when my transmission wouldn't shift and ability to turn key and other symptoms occurred secondary to LOW 8 y/o OEM Panasonic battery. ![]()
