CAUSE THEY SUCK!

HARD...man.....I'm so pissed. I bought this battery and its been trouble since I bought it.

It cant hold two shits worth of a charge. Honestly. Its not my alternator cause I just replaced it...NOW....its totally dead....my car is a big dumb lump of steel cause my stupid battery wont hold a charge. I bought it in the summer too!

BUY AC DELCO....AC DELCO IS THE BEST!

forget this motomaster crap!

motorcycle battery?
I heard those Optima ones are pretty good.
If you can get a jump try push starting it if you have a maunual. As long as you get it rolling a little bit it should start just fine.

Nah its the battery in my prelude...maybe its called something diff in the US. I bought it at Canadian Tire...or Crappy Tire rather!

and I cant push start my car because the ground is all covered in snow and ice....the front wheels would just slip the sec I let the clutch out!

IM PISSED!

Those Optima ones are pretty good but they are really expensive!

That just proves how little you know. Delco is a decent brand, but far from the best.

My car actually came from the factory with a Delco battery. It lasted three years. I replaced it witha Delco from Western Auto (no longer in business). It last three years. I then folowed it with a string of Wal Mart batteries. Best one went 16 months. Heat is really hard on batteries, especially crappy ones. I got one more Delco battery from a battery specialy store. It lasted three years. I now have an Optima red top battery that is a year old. I got the biggest one that would fit the space. I guess we'll see if I have the car in six years when I find out if it was worht the $100 I paid for it!

Lets see. When my dad originally baught my first truck for himself back in 90 the battery soon died. He got a Diehard. It lasted 11 years. And that was in tempertures from just below zero to just over 100.
So its all in what you pay for.

I usually get batteries from Farm & Fleet, cheap here and they have 4-year replacement warranties.

what is the big deal just take it back they will give you another. If it is a Eliminator it is covered for like 5 years.
new battery for no money sounds ok to me.

Well.....I went out and bought the biggest baddest AC DELCO battery I could find...so big I'm gonna have to mount it in the trunk of my car...but yeah! 1150 Cold Cranking Amps baby....YEAH!!!

they are great they have 3 year free replacement and 9 year total warranty. i had one crap out after 5 years and it only cost me 15 to get it replaced and that included the ontario 5 battery disposal fee.
