    I think what the TS is trying to say is, not to buy AC Delco battery because they aren't good. His warranty is only one year, and because its already one year, his battery is now dead or useless and cannot be replaced because his warranty lapse.

    I would also agree with TS, my Cruze is also less than 1 year, but I had to replace the AC Delco battery that came with the car. Although its less than a year, my milleage is more than 10K km. So its not under warranty. Warranty of AC Delco on my 2010 Cruze is 1 year or 10K KM whichever comes first. I replaced my with Motolite.

    My other rides battery last for at least 24 months, yung sa Strada ko, more than 3 years before I needed to replace the battery. GS Brand, which came standard with the car.

    hayzzz, I have to agree na hindi tumatagal ang acdelco ng cruze at yong ipapalit nila kapag sa casa ka nagpapalit ay 'rocket' brand. Although umabot ang battery ko sa 29K (odo reading), nasa 15 months lang siya inabot compared sa dati kong oto na ang stock battery ay umabot ng 2 years.

    Motolite DIN55 ang pinalit ko since sa bahay ako namatayan ng battery and no chance to have it replaced sa casa.

    Dati Motolite, 1 year rin ang warranty. The battery died out in 1 year and 2 days. Galing talaga ng timing. Now, 18 months ang warranty. Pretty sure it will die out around that time as well. I had a battery dati, Excel ang brand. That one lasted for more than 4 years.

    Excel is also a motolite brand. It is their top-spec automotive battery with full 24-months warranty. Gold is the next spec battery with 21-months warranty. FYI, from motolite website.

    Ahh ganyan pala talaga ang AC Delco battery. More than a year ago may relatively new optra na patay ang battery sa open parking ng SM south mall, lady ang driver (tabatsing lang ). Swerte nya may booster cable ako sa car.After ko mapaandar ang car nya ay pinagbilinan ko na wag muna mag aircon hanggang dumating sa paroonan, tiis ng init muna, para less power consumption baka mamatay ang makina kasi gabi. Mas kailangan ng lightings ang koryente. Good samaritan ako at that time

    Diba Rapide distributor ng AC delco? Nakita ko kasi sa MIAS booth nila naka-display? Dapat maganda quality nito but dahil siguro sa Rapide kaya ganyan. hehe j/k

    i don't have a cruze, so i can not imagine what the problem is.
    but if you bring the car to the battery store (AC Delco store or otherwise), they might have something for you.
    another possibility is to go to the casa (where they'll sell you the "right" battery at thrice the non-casa price. heh heh).

    sometimes, there is no real problem because the "standard" garden variety battery will fit nicely and still have big overhead space as not to short out the overhead metal. but only a trial fitting can show this to be true or not.

    HI TS,

    Nagtanung kasi ako sa newest store re: ACDELCO. They said that they are now in 24 Months Warranty.

    I think they already making move to impress users by extending Warranty period.

    Thanks.. ^^,
