0My 2020 Ford Escape is over 3 years old now and I need to replace the battery. Any recommendations of battery brands and where to purchase in the Kenner area would be greatly appreciated.

I don’t know if you have a dead battery or if it’s 3 years old and you feel it’s time to replace it, if the latter that’s a smart move. Average life of a auto battery in the south is a little over 3 years. The owner of my auto tech company has always been a strong advocate of just replacing the battery at 3 years. I started doing this about a decade or more ago, and since then I’ve never been stranded or inconvenienced somewhere with a dead battery. With todays autos, you get little or no warning a battery is about to die - fine today, dead tomorrow.
Owner of my service shop wrote this article Why Batteries Die
I also use the WalMart EverStart batteries, just get one rated for your car warranted for 3 years. As stated there only 3 manufacturers of auto batteries in the USA, regardless of the name/brand on the battery.

on 1/21/23 at 3:46 pm to PepperidgeThe standard ones are made Deka also. If the model number has a J in it then it was produced by Johnson Controls in Mexico. You can tell by the case which batteries are the exact same.
Used to get 6-7 years outta Interstate. Not anymore.
Works gets us a NAPA discount so I have their gold series in my wife's van. She's let it go dead several times and it still kicking.
I bought a Ford from a Dodge dealership 5 years ago and their Mopar battery they put in is going strong. I may go back and get another from the local dealer haha
