Didn’t see “Renault” on that list, that was how the presumably OEM battery on my Nissan Frontier was marked. It only lasted 18mos/35,000 miles.

Didn’t see “Super Start” on there either. That was the premium 3yr O’Reilly’s Auto Parts battery I replaced it with ($185 ouch!). It is marked “Made in Brazil”, maybe they still use virgin lead down there I dunno.

Both times the first battery was dead in the morning my NOCO GB 70 jump starter fired the motor up instantly. Bought it based upon recommendations here.
