Well, if you 'only' got 11 years out of a 5-year battery, then the OEM(group 90) is a good choice.
Or you can go with a number of others. I've got a group 47 AGM in mine, another member just put a group 34R AGM in his. https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/gene...ery-hhr-60294/

I'm still running my AC Delco battery from Nov 2007, I think I'm gonna follow Oldblue & get another AC Delco. Dealer has them @ $125.
If it lasts 1/2 as long as mine is lasting, I'd say money well spent.

I bought a New Delco OEM battery 4 months ago to go in my 2011 with 30,000 miles.
I figured 7 years was enough to make the update but I do wonder if the current OEM Delco replacement battery has the same construction and quality as they did in 2007 ??
That would still be my choice anyway as it is a perfect refit.
Just be careful in handling the Vent Tube as it is fragile .. especially if you remove and replace in cold weather.

Blue- That's a good idea.

Blue- Thanks, Good to know, my battery has been there since day one, I think I'll miss it.
When you changed batteries did you use a "memory saver" ? I have so many settings set to my preferences, I may use a memory saver.
