About ACDelco

American trucks and SUVs are everywhere on UAE roads, and ACDelco is what most of them were delivered with. The range covers sealed maintenance-free flooded batteries and AGM batteries for newer models with stop/start and heavier electrics. Big V8 engines need strong cranking current, and the batteries are specified with that in mind. Sizes follow the American BCI group system on many models, so the technician matches the group number as well as the capacity.

ACDelco in UAE heat

Large SUVs carry a lot of electrical load and often idle with the air conditioning running, which keeps under-bonnet temperatures high. Test the battery once a year after its second summer.

Best suited to

Chevrolet Tahoe and Silverado, GMC Yukon and Sierra, Cadillac Escalade and other GM vehicles, plus American trucks and SUVs in general.

ACDelco on a Range Rover

Rarely. Range Rovers take European DIN sizes, and ACDelco stock here is mostly in American group sizes, so we normally fit a European AGM on a stop/start Range Rover. If an ACDelco AGM is available in the exact DIN size, it is a perfectly good battery for the job.

ACDelco vs Exide

ACDelco or Exide?

ACDelco and Exide both have long American roots, but ACDelco is tied to GM vehicles while Exide today is found mostly in European DIN sizes. For a GM truck we fit ACDelco, for a European car Exide is the more likely fit.

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

ACDelco battery questions

More questions answered

Is ACDelco only for GM vehicles?

No. It is the genuine GM part, but any car that takes the same size, terminal layout and rating can use one.

Does my Tahoe or Yukon need an AGM battery?

It depends on the model year and whether the vehicle has stop/start. The technician checks the label on the old battery and fits the same technology.

What warranty applies to ACDelco batteries?

Up to 24 months. The exact term depends on the battery model and is written on the invoice.

Battery trouble right now?

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