Good luck. I'm hanging on to my 2017 battery until I see signs of failure.
In my experience, "new" batteries have about a 10% problem rate in their first year. This includes both flooded cell and AGM's I have had.

Just replaced mine with the OEM at 5 years old. Slow start a few weeks ago inside the garage. Installed new one and put the tender back on it.
Rock Auto has them a little cheaper than Amazon even with tax and shipping.

Funny....my battery is no longer keeping a charger from my battery tender/maintainer. 2018 SS. Gonna wait till it warms up before replacing it with an AC Delco one.

Go to parts store, pick battery that fits and run it. Your chance of battery related issues and lifespan is pretty equal across the board these days.

Optima yellow top

I've had an Antigravity Lithium for like 7 years now that I've moved between my vehicles. It was in my first Camaro, then my last Corvette, and now it lives in my current Camaro.

Agree. My son recently got a "platinum" battery which dropped voltage at about the 11.5 month mark (advertised as a 7-year battery). Autozone was good and did a complete replacement. I was expecting the usual pro-rated battery warranty.

After 5 years of ownership I replaced mine with this. Dealer installed for $40.

XSPower AGM's have always done me well.

Are you still on your original battery? I have the same car as yours from 2017 and still on the first battery (I have trickle charger during the months I don’t use the car).
