Delkor battery for my Pajero – is the hype real or just marketing?

I've been shopping around for a new battery for my 2017 Mitsubishi Pajero, and the Delkor name keeps coming up from different people I've spoken to. A mate of mine who runs a small garage swears by them and said they're one of the few brands that actually handle the heat here without dying after 18 months. I did a bit of digging and apparently they're made by Clarios (who also make some other big names) and use this PowerFrame grid technology that's supposed to improve conductivity and durability . The thing that's really caught my attention is that they supply batteries to major manufacturers like Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, and even Honda and Nissan as original equipment, which gives me some confidence that they're not just some cheap aftermarket brand . I'm also seeing that they offer EFB and AGM options for start-stop vehicles, which is relevant because my Pajero doesn't have that tech but I've heard the EFB ones handle deep cycling better if you do a lot of off-roading with accessories running. The only hesitation I have is that I've read mixed reviews online – some people say they've had theirs for 5+ years without issues, while others complain about them dying after 2-3 years . I'm based near Zaabeel and I'm looking for a Genuine Delkor battery replacement in Zaabeel because I'd rather go to an authorized distributor than take a chance on a knock-off. Has anyone here actually used a Delkor in their Pajero or similar heavy SUV and can give me honest feedback on how it performed over a couple of summers? I'm particularly interested in whether the cold cranking amps hold up when the engine is heat-soaked on those 45-degree days, because that's what killed my last battery. Any advice would be massively appreciated before I drop the cash on this.
