ACDelco batteries – still good or just living off an old reputation?
My dad always swore by ACDelco back in the day, said they were the only batteries that lasted more than two years in a hot climate. Now I'm looking at replacing the battery in my Chevy Trailblazer and I see ACDelco is still around but I honestly don't hear people talking about them much anymore. Everyone seems to be pushing Bosch or Varta or these newer brands I've never heard of. I was doing some reading on their site (https://batteryzoneuae.com/acdelco/) and they claim to have different tiers from professional to gold which is a bit confusing. I don't mind paying more if it genuinely lasts longer but I've been burned before by "premium" batteries that died just as fast as the cheap ones. Does anyone here actually run an ACDelco in a daily driver? I'm talking real world UAE summer heat, short trips, AC on full blast all the time. Is the professional series worth the extra cash or should I just grab whatever midrange battery fits and call it a day? Also do they still make them with the handle on top? Random I know but that handle saved me a few times with my dad's old truck. Any feedback appreciated.
