    Best Battery Brand?

    Was because you got tired removing the old battery then had to lug the new one in the old ones place. Or did you install an 8D in your OldsmoChevy?

    Oversized battery Install in 2015 Escape 2.5L

    1200 totally depleted deep cycles right? So after every start you had to charge it back up fully from a dead 0 capacity. Is this what you are saying? Still not impressed. Less than 2 years IF that was the case. I never spoke about RV or boat deep cycle batteries guy. Just said a smaller...

    Your starter only draws x amount of amps. Under 200 amps on the very high side. Didn't we cover this? To sum it up, your larger battery, in your mind, cranks your starter faster. That is what you should of said. Or you had a bad connection on the old battery or flaky ground causing your slow...

    So you went from an old dead/weak battery to a new larger battery. Now you saw faster cranking. Impressive......... My flashlight is really dim. I put new batteries in. Now I can see better. I should of put in larger batteries with the SAME voltage as the OEM batteries. Really shine so much...

    I see zero mention of any car or truck brand here guy. OEM like battery install as the OP was stating. All you are impressed with is some over sized deep cycle boat battery. WOW, 1200 cycles out of a "deep cycle" battery. Aren't they supposed to do that? LOL Going ONE place a day for a year...

    Battery -- new testing at 12.41 v

    Go to an industrial battery shop. They sell fork lift batteries and big rig batteries. You can get a really good one for your car or truck for cheap. Last twice as long as Autozone or wallymart.

    Any reason to not switch to AGM?

    Main reason NOT to switch to AGM is your vehicle might of not came out factory with one. All these new battery chemistries require different charging algorithms to charge properly and not boil the electrolyte out. Other than that I love the fact the terminals don't corrode from leaking acid...

    Oversized battery Install in 2015 Escape 2.5L

    You are missing the entire point of batteries. Most modern cars and trucks require only like lets call it 200 max amps to start the engine. That 200 amp guesstimate is on the very high side. More like 80 to 120 amps. So when a person"thinks" he needs a 1,000 CCA battery to start his Honda...

    Show us the proof. Larger batteries have more plates. More plates equates to more parts count inside. More parts count equates to earlier failures. Much easier for the plates to short out and leave you stranded. Buy the OEM size and never lose sleep over it.
