Fantastic How To video!
It touch on all of my car battery comparison questions.
Including a few areas I didn’t know about.
Thanks!
Excellent video! Thanks for the great advice 💪🏼
Calm, cool, concise, and knowledgeable - thanks Mr. Cooley.
Automotive talk need not be a “windstorm.”
The Energizer acid battery on my 1986 Porsche lasted 13 years, however there are no longer for sale in the San Diego area.
Thank you Brian. Very informed. Have a good day.
very informative, clear and concise. more power to you sir
No, more power to the car. More ability to "sir."
Precise info and easy to understand. Thanks ❤❤❤
Great video! Easy to follow and understand w necessary info!
Excellent video! I would say freshness date and warranty are the important parts. Price also varies with length of warranty but I see cheaper batteries with shorter warranties work just as good as the more expensive with longer warranty.
I live where we have really cold winters so I get the highest CCA I can get and with a 3-5 year warranty.
Thank you Cooley!!
FANTASTIC video here on all the "??????????????????'s" most consumers, like myself, have when in the market for a "new" replacement battery for your vehicle....A must watch!!!! Many thanks for this awesome video.
Cool stuff, Cooley!
Thanks for sharing. :)
Great info, thank you
thanks again for the video
great presentation thanks
Excellent breakdown.
I needed battery thank god I didn't just buy one lol came to CZcams first to get informed. Awesome vid thanks 👍🏿
Hey thanks for the informative video
I miss your car show
Great review
Thank you!
Thank you! This was exactly the information I was looking for! Idk why this isn't the first result in Google. Considering the other results weren't even relevant to my question lol
Very informative.
Way back in the good old days they used to say that your battery's cold cranking amps should be around the same as your engine's displacement in cubic inches..
Thank you, just Thank you
Great information. However, I heard you say that agm tends to be a little lighter than lead-acid? Every agm battery I have lifted has always been heavier than it's lead-acid equivalent.
I always get the most energy dense battery in the group type that i can find
Is their a seal to break because some stay on the shelf for months -The warrenty starts when this is broken? tks
Battery post location is designed. So the Negative is always close to the metal fender\supports...So you don't short the battery removing the cable ends or tightening them...
And about A/h and also A numbers dose they have to be the same as my car batter or only the 12 V is important?
I’m interested in the lightest weight battery with a high cranking amp capacity.
Any thoughts ?
Hey Brian, met you once and you were a pleasure to talk to! It just so happens that i ordered a new battery for my car today, not sure if it was defective or i have parasitic drain but car couldn’t start this morning even when trickle charged. Paid more for the AGM battery, can’t hurt anything but my wallet
AMG batteries are great. If you ever need more power than an Optima Yellow Top, check out Kinetic and XSPower.
@@roadshowautos whats your take on Odyssey batteries?
3:36 Reserve Capacity is so that you can get to a garage when your alternator completly fails. And it is rated to 10.5V which is a level that systems run in a vehicle. So that means you want to turn off all high current devices such as A/C, heater fans, rear window defrosters, etc. so that you do not exceeed a 25A draw. That is why it is a good idea to have a voltmeter plugged into the cigarette lighter or power port in your car to monitor battery voltage. Smaller batteries will have a 80 minute rating, larger batteries will have a 120 minute rating. As batteries get older, those numbers are reduced.
How to find its fluded or agm bettry pleaee guide
Hello Dear, I Have A Hyundai Tucson Limited 2006 V6 2.7 Gazoline, Battery How Much Amp Should I Buy ? To Make It Run Properly 🤦🏽♂️ Please Help Me
I had a 24 battery in my car. Can I replace it with an Ever Start 24F?
JSYK: Johnson Controls sold-off its Power Solutions division back in 2018/2019 to Brookfield Business Partners, and has become Clarios.
Also, Toyota has been using OEM batteries from Johnson Controls since roughly around 2013, and are probably still using them with Clarios. Toyota has previously used OEM batteries from Panasonic (formerly Matsushita Electrical Industrial International), including in around 2009.
Sears has sold its DieHard brand to Advance Auto Parts, and their batteries are now made by Clarios. To market the announcement, they hired Bruce Willis, and you can guess what & why.
Now for a video on how to jump a battery. Older cars had a metal post for the negative contact, late model cars do not have this post so where should this negative clamp be placed? Anything special for pup starting a hybrid vehicle?
Just attach the negative on the dead car somewhere to the metal frame. As for hybrids, we had a Prius C and it a special terminals for boosting under the hood, because the actual 12 V battery was under the rear seat. The hybrid battery was not used for starting the car.
so i have acura mdx..I changed the battery some time back and it looks like the guy put 640cca while this v6 needs around 700cca.. The problem is sometime the engine wont crank.. need o move the shifter to D move back to P and then start.. Im unsure if less cca can cause this problem
Just get a First Interstate battery, never any problems in my Acura
Brother may i ask my car battery is 95 AH - 450 A , if i pot 100 AH - and more than 450A is that will damage the car ( passat R36 ) ??? am grateful 💜🙏🏻
How many amps does a battery have when it says 710CCA?
2:47 the definition also includes that the battery does not drop below 7.2V in voltage.
How does Amperage work? I know some batteries use 90amps and others 75amps of similar size
Amps are like the about of push I believe. The higher the amps, the greater the push.
Hi, do i need to pay attention to the date when I'm buying an pre filled AGM sealed battery? Thank you.
you still do. agm or not, the chemical reactions are the same, which eventually degrades a battery's internals below the point of use. keeping those batteries charged slows that degradation, which is what the alternator, battery charger or maintainer do. a battery not being used is essentially rotting
@@christophersummers1939 thank you.
What about a Honda Pilot that’s rarely driven? After 3-4 weeks the battery’s always dead. Would a deep cycle be the correct choice? Current battery was tested at auto zone and they said it’s fine. 🙄 If anyone out there can help, please respond. Thank you!
You need to install a small battery maintenance charger. Your electrical system is constantly pulling power. Once installed it is a plug and play.
Walmart batteries suck found out the other day tht once you replace the battery you are done even if you still have warranty left from original purchase date policy changed use to be replace or pro rated for lengthy of warranty no matter how many times
Come on, Cooley. Start your own channel and start reviewing cars too. You'll be having subscribers in the millions.
Soo true
Cooley is a phenomenal reviewer
My battery in my Toyota tundra is a 850 cold crank apps.. can I put a 1000 CCA in my vehicle ?..
yep! the better, the better
👍👍
Cooley talks about catch can?
Never really got a answer to the question. Is it better to get the most CCA that will fit in the car.
ForPointSix 4.6 no. It’s not better. Most car can do with only 400 CCA
The question was "Can I do any damage to my vehicle by installing a stronger battery" and the answer, at 2:42, was "having more of them does not damage the car"
Your problem is not that the question wasn't answered, your problem is that you're asking a different question.
From what I'd learned my guess would be no because the starter only takes a limit of amps to any over amperage will be a waste IMO.
the original battery installed in my 2017 toyota prius was a 295cca 45ah battery which nobody except yuasa manufacture. so im installng a 360cca 45ah in my car. so if it causes damage to my prius, im gonna be sending a bill to Cooley!
Still want a “Cooley is my co-pilot” bumper sticker.
The batteries in my country has a maximum warranty of 18 months!!
Are there any lithium batteries suitable for automotive use?
I believe there are some for cars but can be very expensive. In my country it costs nearly 10 times the cost of a comparable regular batter but is said to last up to 10 years even with start/stop tech in cars.
My Hyundai Ioniq hybrid uses a 1.56 kWh lithium battery thats air cooled under the back seats. There is a physically partitioned section for 12v and the rest is higher voltage. For some reason, the plug-in version does have a traditional 12v battery in the trunk. Sorry that doesn't answer your question though. I assume you'd mostly just need a battery that can supply enough amps at low and high temperatures.
INTERSTATE !
The quality of Optima Batteries has gone WAY down of the years. Don't expect a battery to last over 5 years. Sam's Club is a great choice & they don't jerk you around on warranty issues especially if you have the receipt.
Ivan Vojt I understand what your saying but I have a music system in my car so what battery would be recommend ?
@@triniwarrior16 I like Interstate Batteries
@@triniwarrior16 Kinetik. Make sure the CCA is equal to or greater than the RMS of your sound system.
@@triniwarrior16 he recommend a deep cycle.
I would not buy a battery with a date more than a month or two old they start deteriorating the minute they put the fluid in the battery. they used to wait till you bought the battery to put the fluid in at the garage or auto center but that was not convenient for stores. I had one battery go bad in only two years that was 6 months old when i bought it most batteries seem to last 5 years till they start getting a bit weak.
Any advice for a Honda Pilot that’s rarely driven? Battery dies after 3-4 weeks every time. Autozone tested it and said it’s fine. I don’t agree. Would a deep cycle battery make a difference?
I tape 18 energizer D batteries together and works fine 🔋⚡️
Mr Cooley forgot about cars with stop/start needs special battery
The need the deep cycle batteries.
Some have OEM Li-ion batteries.
Exploding battery while operating your vehicle LOL
The biggest I can fit
Good explanation perhaps a little slower
Thank you
When you're at AutoZone and you ask your dad "Quick! Which battery should I buy?" 😂
Optima batteries are garbage now, the changed manufacturer and don't last for longer than a year or two.
Cool so deep cycle batteries are the best matter what you look at.
Sure but they'll come at a cost.
When it comes to qualify they are all made by the same company in the USA (or about 80% of the batteries are) so they all have the same quality. The cheaper Duralast has the same quality than the cheapest Super Star and so on.
Cooley > God 👍🏻
Toyota Trustart batterys have a 84 month warranty.
Wow!
First off... Chill out with the super start lmao
Nice video but I was hoping that you'd also cover the lithium battery which weighs 1/4 of these lead dinosaurs.
So then why wouldn't everyone just get deep cycle batteries? Those seem to be able to last the longest, and will always have power available?
Price. There will always be low cost alternatives to better performing products.
I bought a battery made in Oman, it lasted 7 years
Brian, when are you going to drive a Tesla and give us your opinion?
czcams.com/video/fdajxgTnHGo/video.html
Why can't cars move to lithium ion battery
Lead acid batteries are still the cheapest way to provide a huge current to a starter.
Cost?
Safety? Ever seen a lithium fire? They sure don't like heat or being punctured....
One thing if we got is calcium...
No
7 minute video that's crazy.....1😂😂😂😂
batteries are a consumable scam
Thank you!
