How Do I Know I Have the Right Battery for My Buick Encore?

The first thing you need to know when shopping for a replacement battery for your Buick Encore is the correct battery group size. This can be found in your owner's manual and will appear as a number, such as Group 48. You'll also be looking for a 12-volt battery, which is standard for most cars and trucks.

After that, it's time to decide which chemistry you need. Batteries Plus offers two different chemistries for your Encore: flooded and AGM  . Flooded batteries feature the lowest upfront cost. An AGM battery will cost you a bit more, however, they offer the following advantages:

• Longer lifespan - lasts 2-3X as long as a flooded battery
• Higher voltage output - provides more energy than flooded batteries for more reliable vehicle starting
• Faster charging - recharges faster than a flooded battery
• Lower self-discharge rate - holds its charge longer in storage than a flooded battery
• More resistant to vibrations and extreme hot & cold temperatures

Note: If your current battery is an AGM, you must replace it with another AGM battery.
