Battery Panasonic or Duralast

Original factory Panasonic battery in my RX-8 lasted 7 years. The 'premium' Exide I replaced it with is on it's way out now after only 4 years.

When I bought my 2006 4Runner V8 three weeks ago, it had the original Panasonic battery on it's last leg and I had it replaced with a Toyota True Start battery. The 4Runner only had 109,600 miles when we had that battery replaced.

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.

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.

duralast has giving me nothing but probs.
