For starters, Delphi Corporation (not GM) makes AC Delco, as well some of the EverStart batteries for Wal-Mart (most likely the 75 series for GM autos). Technically, it's a separate corporation spun off from GM. GM engineers would specify which battery to use with their vehicles. And what do you know, Consumer Reports rated the two EverStart and one Kirkland batteries as Best Buys in the November 2008 test of auto batteries (Group 75)! Just because you're stupid enough to leave your light on all night, don't go blaming the battery. Derek |
