Upgrading Battery

[cbuts 10+ year member]

Hi, i drive an 06 malibu 3.5l v6, currently waiting for 275A alternator in the mail.

current battery under the hood: eliminator 825 crank, 100 reserve minutes,

it dosnt look like theres much more room for a bigger one.

my setup is in my sig, but eventually soon i would like to upgrade.

would this battery be a good upgrade for under the hood? and if so, will it fit.

Duracell® Automotive Battery - Group Size 94R - Sam's Club

i dont want to spend $300 on a name brand battery if i dont have to, id also like to add one to the trunk eventually, would i just buy (2) of the above, if it fit?

No. You want an AGM battery under the hood. Duracell is a good, cheap brand though.

No, the one you posted is not an AGM battery. And it's the wrong battery group. Look for a group 75 battery. If you can fit an extra inch of length, get this one Duracell® AGM Automotive Battery - Group Size 78DTAGM - Sam's Club
