I am still on the original battery in my 2018 and it's still going strong so when the time comes I will definitely replace it with another AC Delco. I don't see any reason to gamble with another brand when I know that the OEM one lasts so long. I am still on the original battery in my 2016 Civic as well, so I will stay with the Honda battery there too. I think OEM batteries are very well made these days.
Any ol battery will do if it starts the car. These batteries company guys are like little boys and their trading cards. Every other year they trade positions as (drum roll.....) "The BEST battery"... WOW the best battery... Personality I feal "Ed's Battery Emporium" will do... till they become... "Die Never" battery company or "Rock Acid" battery providers out of LA.... As an owner of The BEST battery sittin in a Corvette since the last one expired... why I'm just hoping it'll be near as good as AC Delco of GM fame.... We Know how good GM is! 🙄
