Delco battery

[John Brown]

According to our local Delco parts warehouse, the Delco batteries they sell are made either in the USA or China. Wouldn't be suprised to find out they are made in other countrys also.

Almost exactly one year ago the original battery in my 2002 Tahoe was getting weak. Went to a local shop and bought a new one, since I have always had good luck with Delco in the past. Brought it home, put it in the Tahoe, and - nothing. Did the normal due diligence thinking I had goofed up somewhere, and found nothing wrong. Put the old battery back in and it started up fine. Took the new one back to the shop where I bought it. They did a load test on it and found it defective. Pulled two more from their stock and found them defective too. Finally got a functioning one on the fourth try, and it's been fine since.

I don't think Delco makes 99% of what they sell any more...how times have changed!

I've gone to running Interstate batteries in our daily drivers (good luck so far), and our old cars run the cheapest, lightest batteries we can buy with a topper thrown on for camoflauge...!

Yep, good luck with Interstate here too. And sad as it seems, I've had good luck with Everstart from WallyWorld. Never an incident with either of these.

The Delco in my daughter's '06 Grand Prix failed after just a few months. The dealer replaced it at no charge and SO FAR, no more trouble. Same deal in her '02 Grand Am. Hmmmmm

I gave up on new batteries for daily drivers years ago and only trust boneyard ones now..
Most are almost new anyway, they're bench and road tested plus you can choose from a vast selection of brands for only $25 bucks a unit!.
