If you have a Costco membership theirs are excellent. Made by Johnson Controls, same folks who make the Die Hard for Sears. I've got one in the wife's truck that's 6 years old and still going strong, and a pair in my truck that are 3 years old.

Don't have COSTCO... I have Sams Club...
I don't remember what brand they carry... I haven't need to buy a battery in about 8 years...

I've never had any luck with a Delco battery.
I usually wind up getting one of the gold top Duralasts from AZ. They last forever.

The one in the car is the original battery....
Car was built in March of 2006... so the battery was built even before then...
6 years on a battery isn't too bad.. and if I didn't forget to turn off the radar detector and cell phone charger all the time.... I probably wouldn't need a battery now.

My truck had a Delco in it when I bought it, and it didn't last me a year. It may have been the original, but highly unlikely considering my truck is an '01. I bought a new Delco about 10 yrs ago, and it didn't even last three years.

Neither one of those should be enough to kill a battery. You should be able to leave 'em both on for several days and still start the car.
I've also had no luck with Delco batteries. The two that came in my truck were both less than three years old when I got it, and would barely turn it over. True, they were a little undersized (675cca) for a diesel, but they were what the GM book called for. Swapped 'em out for a pair of Kirkland (Costco brand) 800cca batteries and it's been cranking like a champ.

Interesting...
I have bought several AutoZone batteries down thru the years... mainly because they were cheaper than AC Delco...
They always last until they are JUST OUT OF WARRANTY... then die...
But that was several years ago... they may be a lot better now...

The Caddy needs a minimum of 880... but I just checked and they do have the type I need...
150 bucks plus tax...
