Battery Exide or Duralast

AGM power supply/comfort battery replaced. Overall it went without a hitch. I had the choice of an Exide or a Varta AGM from Tayna Baatteries. The Exide with a price discount was about \u00a310 cheaper than the Varta, so I chose that one at \u00a3133 delivered.

I ended up purchasing a Duralast Gold from autozone. It's actually Manufactured by DieHard of Sears. it's money back for the first 3 years. you get half your money back if it dies in years 4 or 5. Oh well lets hope the Duralast treats me good.

Next battery I am going to put in my Passat is going to be something made by Exide . I mentioned before that I changed my OE battery in the winter 2007-2008, was concerned with low temperatures of this winter, but battery seems to do very well, started at 9*F and still work without a problem.

2 weeks ago, I brought in a totally dead, 16 month old Duralast battery to Autozone. The girl threw some meter thing on the battery, saw that it was bad, and swapped it out for a brand new one.

AutoZone. their Duralast Batteries have worked so well out here in CO.. i have abused them and used them and they still run strong... My buddy drove 10 miles on just the battery when the serp belt broke on his 2.0 and the battery made it, no problem...

Autozone Duralast gold, I think it was a 75 or 78 series, your cables should be just long enough to reach. I got a good deal on mine, and didn't have any trouble with cable length.

I replaced mine with an OEM battery from the dealership. Both mine and my wife's OEM batteries lasted 5+ years. We replaced hers 3 years ago with a Duralast or whatever - starting to leak at the terminal I'll be going back to OEM on hers very shortly.

My 2.8-year old mk6 GTI OEM battery started to show signs of aging about a month ago. It took longer to start when the car is cold and finally it failed to start yesterday. I called VW roadside assistance, got a jump start and went to Autozone, bought a Duralast Platinum AGM battery with size H6/48 . More to follow after the pics.

I had the misfortune of having a dead battery today... I've had the Duralast battery in my car for less than a year... I opted for the $70 Duralast - it sucks... Piece of shiznit.

duralast has giving me nothing but probs.
