Willard vs. OEM Battery for Your Hyundai
When it's time to replace your Hyundai's battery, you have a choice. You can go to the dealer, who will sell you the "OEM" (Original Equipment Manufacturer) battery, often a brand like Solite or Delkor, at a premium price.
Or, you can come to a multi-brand expert like us.
The Honest Comparison
The OEM battery is a good, high-quality battery. But it's not your only option.
- OEM Battery (e.g., Solite): A great battery, but often comes with a high dealership markup and a limited 12-month warranty.
- Willard: South Africa's most trusted "Best Brand." It meets or exceeds your Hyundai's specs and comes with a powerful 24-month national warranty.
- Exide: An OEM-quality brand (sister to Raylite) that also meets all Hyundai specs and includes a 24-month warranty.
