After 10 years of service, I think the AC Delco would be a suitable replacement. I too have an early production 2010 and I changed mine last year before driving it 1,000 miles because it was starting to get a little sluggish. I put the top of the line AC Delco battery in it because it was comparable to other manufacturers on price and the original lasted me nearly 9 years.

Mine is about 6.5 years old and I've been thinking of changing it to be safe & then I read stuff like this and it makes we wonder if I should stretch it further yet. No issues so far mind you either. But 10 years is a crazy amount OP good job!!

There are only several battery manufacturers. All the stores simply slap their own label on it. Get a top of the line battery at Walmart for cheap. Won’t be any different than o Reilly or autozone, etc.

Thanks for the replies, advance didn’t have one in stock so I went to the dealer near me, they had one for $169. I expected much worse. Now if the weather would cooperate, I could drive the damn thing
