Thread: Battery Selection

Tomorow ill be heading over to autozone to buy a new battery for my car. Of the choices available on the link provided, which do you guys think is the better choice and one that is priced the best for its performance.

Battery | AutoZone.com

unless yoru picking up a opitima , i usually buy the 3 year battery from wallmart.

they work fine , good warranty and the price is right

Same here. They usually go bad in the engine bay before 3 years so its free for a new one. I have mine in a box in the trunk so well see how long it lasts

i agree with rodrigo. i would get the optima. the duralast gold wouldnt be bad either.

Guess Ill just go with optima then. Just wanted to see if there is any significant difference between them and it looks like there is. Thanks for the help guys.

I've heard from various system installers that Optimas are not the same build quality as 5-10 years ago. I wonder if thats still the case.

I have the duralast gold batteries with the 3 year warranty in both my car and my truck. It's nice to be able to just trade it in for a brand new battery if it goes bad, no questions asked.

Autozone didnt have any optima batterys at all actually, so I decided to pick up a duralast gold battery. So far so good, and the 3 year warranty is nice to have too.

I recently had a battery go dead. It was an old Duralast and it lasted about 11 years. I have the invoice from when the old owner had it installed. I sell Interstate batteries at my shop so naturally I got a good deal. I am about to replace my 2nd MT-35 in the past 6 months. Sure they are free (free replacement warranty) but I really just want another good battery.

On a note about Interstate it is really only the MT-35s I have had an issue with.

If heard most of those battery's are made by the same company
