Great starting power

My 2016 Civic came with a puny 410 CCA battery so upgrading to 500 CCA was a must after the original battery could no longer hold a charge. Funny how much better the sound system sounds when it’s getting cleaner power.

So far so good.

We bought this battery as a replacement for a Costco battery that only lasted 3 years. This battery is used in our forklift, which doesn't get used every day. Sam's had the best price and availability. Time will tell how long it lasts.

51R lasted SIX YEARS

I bought this battery in 01/2014 for my 1999 Honda CR-V and am preparing to replace it in 10/2019, almost SIX YEARS later. Not bad for a 3-year battery! As a side point, I was told by AAA back in 04/2017-when I was having some maintenance done on the car-that they tested this battery and it needed replacing. I then took the car to Sam's to test the battery, and they said it was still "very strong." Glad I didn't listen to AAA! In 05/2017, I moved from NC (where the car was garaged) to NY (where the car has been parked outside for the past 2.3 years) and the battery has continued strong. Only recently did my mechanic tell me it needs to be replaced; it does crank a little bit weaker than previously. With winter coming, the course of wisdom is to replace it. I just hope the next 51R I get is as good as this one! Another side point: I paid $68 for the 51R in 2014. Now at $104, I hope I get what I pay for.

Weak battery after 2 years

Bought a Duracell 51R for my CR-V in 07/23. By 12/25 it is weak, battery light stays on after cold starts. Never had this issue with any other battery in any other car. Sam's says it tests as a good battery... How bad does it need to get to be replaced? Is Sam's hoping that it will last 2 days past the 3 year warranty?

thank goodness they’re warranted

Bought a Duracell 51R to replace the battery in my 2017 Honda CR-V. The original battery lasted nearly four years and only died after a severe period of cold weather. It limped along till I got tired of recharging it every couple months. Installation of the new battery was easy enough but within a few months, the battery started showing signs of failure. We are retired and it is not uncommon for us not to drive one of our vehicles for several days at a time. After about three months, I broke out my fully automatic battery charger and fully charged the new battery. I usually do that before installing any new battery, but for some reason I failed to do that for this one. After charging the battery to full capacity, o had to do it again several months later. I had the dealership inspect the charging system and got an A+ report that all was perfect. Yet the recharging cycle repeated itself almost like clockwork. In July 2022 I drove the CR-V on a short trip sixty miles away and back. I stopped for fuel at the corner station and that was it. It stranded me. A very nice guy also gassing up gave me a jump and I made it home. But that failure doomed that battery with me. I took it to Sam’s Club the next dat and they tested it and ultimately gave me a new battery. This time I fully charged it before installing it. My fingers are crossed.

Duracell 51R, BIG disappointment.

Bought in August of 24 and go out to start the car in 20 degree weather and the battery was dead. Took the car & battery into Sams to have the battery replaced but Sams checked the batt & said all is FINE with it. I went out to start it yesterday in 10 degree weather & it was once again DEAD. Duacelll has left me speechless in both their battery quality and their response to my complaint. Stay away from Duracell. Note: i have a AA battery that fires up my grill in this cold, its not a duracell :-/.

It's a battery

What can I say after a couple of weeks. I put it in my car and no longer worry about listening to the radio with the engine off while I pump gas... We'll find out how good it really is in a couple of years or so. The one it replaced lasted almost 5 years.
