quote:OEM should be under warranty. I'd look at NAPA and possibly Interstate if not.
I haven't looked to see if there is any warranty since I bought the truck in Feb 2020.

My truck is a 2018 and it almost didn't start this morning. It'll be on the trickle charger tonight.

That should be covered under warranty, if not get an AGM battery, have in boat and love them.

like a lot of appliances, hot water heaters. central units, etc., unless there's been a change over the last decade or so there are only a few battery manufacturers, irregardless of what it says on the casing

Interstate battery or a Delco battery.

This. My neighbor used to own an interstate battery store. There are only three in the country.

Mastercraft. Looks like a damn forklift battery.

Interstate.
You can look on their website for distributors. Usually Pepboys, Firestone, etc. have them. Most indie shops will have it or something similar.

I think all GM's and some Hondas use Delco. It's similar to Mastercraft for Ford.
Whatever the OP does, avoid the cheapest Wal Mart batteries. They are 2 year batteries max.

Auto one is trash. O’Reilly’s is good

Mine made it exactly 3.5 years in my Tundra.
I’ve been getting Duralast Gold from Autozone for a while.
They track your battery by your phone number and vehicle model and getting a warranty replacement is pretty painless.
3 years or less is pretty typical for factory batteries. I’ve managed to get 4-5 out of a few Duralast Golds.

Buy battery from Costco.
Set reminder to return in 35 months.
Return battery in 35 months saying it’s doesn’t start you car anymore.
Rinse and repeat.

Sam's battery. There's only a few brands with different stickers on them.
