Battery OEM FORD or Duralast

Picked up a Duralast Gold from Autozone back in July for my GLI. $155 after returning the OEM battery for the core refund.

I had my battery moment on my 2011 Outback, I bought a Duralast Gold 640 CCA and it's been working fine ever since.

Just replaced a Duralast (Autozone?) yesterday in my Silverado. It was from 11/09. It had a pretty good run in several vehicles of mine.

Went to Autozone and purchased there Duralast platinum, full 5 year replacement warranty for around $145. I installed it myself and had to reset the windows. Great since.

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.

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.

Got a Duralast (I'm not driving an hour round-trip to the f'ing dealer to overpay for a battery). Another inconvenience on newer cars that's completely unnecessary. Really aggravating. Hoping it clears itself out 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.
