Any recommendations for a battery for the 22’ ZL1?
They all seem to be around $250,even the GM delco Is $270 they all have a 3 year warranty, is there anything Out there that’s better that the oem? PS original battery was always on trickle charger Car was always garaged, battery literally dropped Dead,had to get it jumped to get it home! |

I went with a Delco. $250 is about right.
If you had an AGM-rated maintainer/tender on it, it shouldn't have been a problem. An old school 12v "trickle charger" will overcharge and kill an AGM. Might just be casual phrasing, but having the correct tender/maintainer on the battery does matter. |

I had to replace the battery in mine a few months ago and bought a Platinum Duralast battery from AutoZone. It was around $250.00.

Newer units are smart chargers and monitor battery voltage and adjust output accordingly. They may shut down occasionally and wait for resting voltage to dip before turning back on. There is a wide variety of these smart trickle chargers available. They are typically $20-30 as they don't need to output more than 1 amp. I also have units that will both recharge and trickle from NOCO and Ctek, which are both good brands. The true recharge capability adds to cost. Figure about $100. I also got a 2-pack deal on Nexpeak trickle chargers from amazon as a black friday deal (2 for $20), and these are surprisingly good with an informative LCD display. https://www.amazon.com/Automatic-Mai...zcF9hdGY&psc=1 |

Having the battery in the trunk and away from the engine heat seems to make the battery last a little longer. When the battery is under the hood, it’s been my experience that GM batteries tended to crap out after 3-4 years.

Unfortunately most car batteries are either made in China
India,or some other foreign countries!, (wheels on ZL1 Are made in China!!,it says it on the barrel of the wheel) So with that being said, quality control is a moot point, And battery life is a roll of the dice. |
