Top 10 Best Car Batteries of 2024

The modern vehicles that we use have been designed with more electronics than the previous ones. This means that they will draw a lot of power from your battery for them to work. When you turn off your car, then you run a risk of not being able to start it to because power will have been drained a lot.

Every car battery will, at some point, lose its properties and die, for as long it is put under continuous use, it is subject to wear and tear and the fact that car batteries contain highly corrosive acid. As long as it is used continuously it is subject to wear-and-tear and because they contain corrosive acid, car batteries can die after several years even without being used.

Today, the market is full of models of batteries you can choose from, yet some are better and more durable than others. That is this article brings you the top 10 best car batteries in 2016 reviews, so if you read it you won’t find it challenging to find the best when you go shopping for one.

8. ACDelco 48AGM

 

ACDelco 48AGM

ACDelco Professional Automotive AGM batteries have high cycling capabilities, are remarkably charge-receptive, and are necessary for start/stop applications. The Absorbed Glass Mat design is 100% leak and spill proof because the Electrolyte is permanently held in the glass mat separator instead of free flowing within each cell. Oxygen recombination reduces water loss and reassures maintenance-free performance. ACDelco Professional Automotive AGM batteries have longer life expectancy in traditional vehicle applications, due to a maintained pressure on the plates which significantly reduces the amount of active mass lost from the grid.
