About ACDelco batteries
ACDelco batteries are sold through GM dealers and parts shops. Many GM cars leave the factory with an ACDelco battery, so it is the closest match to the original.
American cars usually use BCI group sizes, such as 48, 65 or 94R, rather than the JIS or DIN sizes used by Japanese and European cars. We match the ACDelco battery to your car’s group size and technology and fit it at your car.

FAQ
ACDelco batteries: common questions
Which battery does my GMC Yukon or Chevrolet Tahoe need?
It depends on the year and engine. Many recent models use an AGM battery; older ones use a standard flooded battery. Send the year or a photo of the battery label and we confirm the size.
What is the price of an ACDelco battery in the UAE?
It depends on the size and type your car needs. Send your make, model and year and we give you the fitted price for the right ACDelco battery before we come. The price includes fitting, a battery and charging test and taking the old battery away.
What warranty does an ACDelco battery have?
Warranty depends on the exact ACDelco battery and is set by the UAE distributor. We confirm it with your quote and write it on your invoice. It covers manufacturing faults, not a battery drained by lights left on or a charging fault.
Can I fit an ACDelco battery to a non-GM car?
Yes, if it is made in your car’s group size and technology. ACDelco makes common BCI sizes that fit many American cars, not only GM models.
