Duracell vs Energizer

Duracell or Energizer?

Duracell and Energizer are both consumer battery names licensed to automotive manufacturers, so the comparison comes down to the individual battery. We compare capacity, cold cranking current and production date on the two labels and fit the better match.

About Duracell

The copper-and-black casing is familiar to almost everyone, which is part of the appeal. Duracell does not run its own car battery plants. The licence holder builds the batteries, and which manufacturer that is depends on the region the battery was made for. The automotive range is usually arranged in three steps, Starter, Advanced and Extreme, with the Extreme line carrying the AGM and EFB batteries for stop/start cars. We read the label on each one for the capacity and cold cranking figures and match those to your car, not the name on the case.

Duracell in UAE heat

Nothing about the brand changes the basic rule here: expect 2 to 3 years in UAE conditions. Have the battery tested before summer, because a weak one tends to fail in the first hot week.

Best suited to

European saloons and SUVs, and owners who would rather have a brand they know than one they have to look up.

Duracell on a Range Rover

We fit a Duracell on a stop/start Range Rover only in the AGM grade and only when the size matches the original. The flooded Starter and Advanced grades go on cars without stop/start.

Battery types

AGM, EFB or flooded: which battery your car needs

The technology has to match what the car was built with. This is the short version.

TypeHow it worksFitted toGood to know
AGM Absorbent Glass Mat Electrolyte is held in glass-fibre mats, so the battery is sealed, vibration resistant and copes with deep, repeated discharges. Range Rover Velar, Sport, Evoque and most premium cars with start-stop or heavy electronics. Must be replaced with AGM. The car should be told a new battery is fitted.
EFB Enhanced Flooded Battery A reinforced flooded design that handles more start cycles than a standard battery. Entry-level start-stop cars, many Japanese and Korean models. Can be upgraded to AGM, never downgraded to standard flooded.
Flooded Maintenance-free lead-acid The conventional sealed calcium battery. Simple, proven and the most affordable. Older cars and models without start-stop, including earlier Land Rovers. Most affected by heat. Test yearly after the second summer.
48V lithium Mild-hybrid pack A separate lithium-ion pack that powers the mild-hybrid system. It works alongside the 12V battery, not instead of it. Mild-hybrid Range Rover and Velar engines, and other MHEV cars. Not a roadside item. We replace the 12V battery and leave the 48V system alone.

Questions

Duracell battery questions

More questions answered

Does Duracell make its own car batteries?

No. They are built under licence by automotive battery manufacturers, and the maker differs by region. The label on the battery shows where it was made.

Is a Duracell car battery suitable for stop/start?

The AGM and EFB versions are. The standard flooded grades are not, and we will not fit one to a stop/start car.

What warranty do you give on Duracell?

Up to 24 months. The exact term depends on the battery model.

Send your location and car model. A technician is usually with you in 20 to 35 minutes.
