Any recommendations? Local parts store sells Delphis, a former GM division. Are these any good?

Should I stick with AC Delco?

I picked one up from Auto Zone, don't remember the name, but it comes with a three year REPLACEMENT guarentee. Perfect for muscle cars, that are not driven all the time..

I can post the brand when I get home..

Delco is Delphi now and is still a division of GM

As most battery manufactures do, they make batteries with several different labels.
When I went through the Olathe Kansas plant a few yeas ago they were running DIE HARD's

Battery names don't really mean all that much since the contracts go from one maker one year to another maker the next year.
They all have "good, better and best"

I've been getting the best batteries I can buy from O'Reilly Auto parts for the last few years and they seem to be OK.
