Working well

I purchased my first Duracell 96R in July 2018 to replace the OEM Motorcraft battery. Even when new, the original battery would discharge to the point of not being able to start the vehicle if I didn't drive it for three weeks. The Duracell battery will start the vehicle if not driven for four weeks! Even after this duration, the starter spins fast. I am very pleased this battery seems stronger than the OEM battery. So, when another one of my vehicles need a new 96R battery, it was an easy choice. I choose the same battery for it. So, I think I made the smart choice twice over.

Battery Failed Twice - Not Covered Under Warranty

I have bought two of these batteries for my car over the years. When the car was being serviced by the dealership, they told me my battery was bad and needed to be replaced. The battery before would not start my car. Both times, Sam's claimed the battery was not bad and I was not eligible for a battery under warranty. The price was ok, but if they will not cover anything under warranty, it is not a good deal. I would purchase from somewhere that honors its warranty.

Great experience

It was an excellent experience. Easy to order and pickup and returning the old one was painless.

Not Good !

Bought this battery to replace an oem motorcraft battery that was 7 1/2 years old. The Duracell battery lasted 3 1/2 years and failed without warning leaving us stranded. Of course the warranty period was 3 years.

Much longer life than expected

I bought this battery in 2018 and it is still working fine. I am going to replace it tomorrow for peace of mind. This is one of the best batteries I ever installed in one of my vehicles. It sure doesn't owe me anything.

8 years and still ticking away, what a bargain.

This might be hard to believe, but my wife's vehicle has a Duracell battery that is 8 years old now and keeps on ticking. I have load tested her battery every year before winter hits Chicago area, and it passes the tester I use each time. I will be replacing her battery before I go out of town for a month or so, and do not want her vehicle to fail while I am gone. She does many short runs in her vehicle, and I take it on the highway during some trips to keep everything up to par. These batteries do hold up very well and I would buy these again, anytime. The costs are low enough to replace more often, but why change battery if it is still good. I just do not want our luck to run out on her vehicle.

Reasonable value

This is the second Duracell battery I purchased, the first was a year earlier for a different car.

Solved my problem

Was getting tired of jump starting our oldest vehicle. New battery was just the trick. Very happy.
