Battery: Die Hard vs Durlast

[Toystory2]

Well here it is New Year’s Day and I’m gonna have to replace my battery.

Since most everything is closed today, I have two options: Advanced Auto Parts or Autozone. So I’m looking at either Die Hard Gold or a Durlast Gold.

I’m 90% sure I want the DH. Both are same price.

Any recommendations?

I thought about seeing if I could make it until then to get an Interstate. Unfortunately we have some below freezing weather coming.

Most of the batteries are made by Johnson Controls here in the U.S. with a different label.

Whatever's local and has the better warranty.

Thanks! Didn’t realize Project Farm had done a vid on car batteries.

It is a great battery. Well, very good anyway. I have one in the Jeep (Gold) and put the AGM version in the 4R.

I tried many batteries and being able to just go to Walmart for my batteries and not have to beg them for a replacement is what I want.
This has worked for me.

Don't forget Costco

They carry Interstate batteries and warranty is 36M not pro-rated IIRC. You can exchange at any Costco. They have lead acid and AGM and price is good FWIW. The 4G T4R lead acid size 24F is about $100 and AGM is about $160...

all batteries are built by a small handful of companies here in the US or Europe for the euro cars. Just get what's local easy and has a good warranty.

Do not get the 24F as is the smallest in size and spec.. For new york or the northeast I wounld go with size 27. And make sure is for cold climate. AMG is a better route, more $ but you'll have the extra crank power when temp. falls below 20 deg.

I was running costco interstate 24f [42mo] it lasted 5 years never a problem but weak crank at temp. below 20 deg.
now I'm running costco interstate size 27[36mo] (HD cold climate). haven't seen below 20 deg. yet
size 27 $93.99 at costco.

Don't waste your money going to a STEALERship. You'll pay way more than any Autoparts store.

You'll be splitting hairs chosing between a Diehard or Duralast battery. Pretty much the same. Same technology. NO difference.

Consider a Northstar AGM27F or a Odyssey AGM34R both are top of the line batteries.

Same shizz different label... just get whatever is most convenient or best price for the stated warranty.
