Battery In Lake Michigan
The facts are in: Independent testing shows that the average life of ACDelco Automotive Batteries is 33 percent longer than the average life of its competitors' batteries. That must be why it's been so easy for ACDelco to keep on keepin' on.
And speaking of longer lasting ... an ACDelco Battery, under water for 50 years, is still cranking. Now that's impressive. The battery was recently retrieved from a World War II U.S. Navy plane that went down in Lake Michigan more than a half-century ago.
How many automotive replacement parts make up ACDelco's product lineup? ACDelco makes more than 70,000 parts, including spark plugs, batteries, brakes and filters. That number still continues to grow.
Every month, ACDelco ships 36,000 tons of automotive replacement parts to retail outlets and repair shops through distribution channels comprised of independently owned warehouses. Whether you fix your own vehicle or have a technician do it, ACDelco supplies the parts you need.
We make parts for just about every type of vehicle, whether it's a Chevy®, Toyota®, Dodge® or a BMW®. We're not just for General Motors® anymor |
