Our verdict

A GM backed AGM replacement for vehicles that call for this BCI group size. The listing leaves out cold cranking amps and reserve minutes, so confirm the figures against your owner manual first.

Overview

ACDelco builds the Gold high reserve battery with absorbed glass mat construction in the listed BCI group case, made to the fit, form and function specs of General Motors parts. It drops into the factory tray of vehicles that use that group size.

Owners of GM trucks and cars get a battery made to original equipment specs and backed by General Motors. The listing is thin, though: cold cranking amps, reserve capacity and dimensions are all missing, so the fit check falls on the buyer.

Who it's for

Drivers replacing a factory battery of the same group size who want a part made to GM specs will find a direct swap here. Those with a different group size, or who need published cranking figures, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Made to GM fit and function specs
  • AGM construction resists spills
  • Backed by General Motors
  • Group size matches many factory trays
Cons
  • Cold cranking amps, dimensions and terminals not listed
  • Heavy to lift into the tray
  • Warranty terms behind a link

Performance notes

Starting power depends on the cranking amp rating, which the listing does not give. The absorbed glass mat design holds the electrolyte in fiberglass, which makes it more tolerant of vibration and deep cycling from start stop systems. Life in service depends on charging system health and climate.

Frequently asked questions

How do I care for the ACDelco 48AGMHR between drives?

The listing gives no maintenance instructions. AGM batteries are sealed, so care comes down to clean terminals and a charger set for AGM if the vehicle is parked for long stretches.

Is the ACDelco Gold 48AGMHR the same as ACDelco Professional?

Some ACDelco Gold parts formerly appeared as ACDelco Professional, so the part number may match an older Professional battery.

Does the ACDelco 48AGMHR fit non GM vehicles?

It is made for General Motors vehicles and most other makes that use a Group 48 battery. Confirm the group size in your owner manual.
