Stay with AGM. Theyre better in vibration and high current demand. They also charge faster. The down side seems to be their freezing temperature performance.

Don’t know why people recommend ever start from Walmart they have always been subpar for me. I throw them in my beaters only.
OEM a delco batteries seem to be the best for length of use and the least amount of problems. There probably are better out there

I have always used the Everstart Maxx from Walmart in my larger vehicles (Silverado, Tahoe, Tundra & Tacoma - work trucks), not the regular Everstart. From what I remember, I believe they are made by Johnson Controls, and I have always had great performance from them. They seemed to outlast other brands in the desert heat. I'm originally from Phoenix, AZ, and now live in Vegas, and the heat doesn't play nice with batteries or anything else for that matter. The Camaro still has the OEM battery, and it stays garaged most of the week with a battery tender plugged in, but when it's time to change it, I'll probably give the Everstart AGM a shot if they make one in the right size.

I threw an Everstart (Walmart) battery in my ride a couple of years ago when I "inherited" the car from my son, and this battery hasn't given me any fits. I live in a moderate region (Southern Indiana).
I can't speak to the DieHard or AC Delco brands.

I'm on the original battery, but the car is garaged and has 17000 miles on it.

Will need replaced soon because capacity is deminishing
