Replacement auto batteries

My 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.

Walmart, you can checkout at that back auto counter and not have to deal with the masses.

There are only two or three battery manufacturers in the U.S. Walmarts are as good as any.
Costco was about $20 cheaper than autozone on the exact same battery last week.

Everstart Max battery at Walmart. 3 year warranty and they have Walmarts everywhere. Also have the best prices.

Just get an AGM, more important than the brand

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.

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.

The 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
