Has both types of terminals, good CC Amp rating

I put this in my 1989 Jeep. Had to make a few adjustments but I knew that in advance since it's larger than what it called for. Needed it to keep my Jeep running and use with the winch as well.

Replaced a pair of Optima batteries

Replaced a pair of Optimal batteries in my GMC Duramax diesel. Time will tell longevity, but so far no problems. Cost was a major consideration as these are less than half the cost of Optima's.

Great battery at a great price

Needed to replace a DieHard AGM battery that lasted almost 10 years in the AZ heat. This battery has a great rating at half the price of others. So far it’s been flawless to include heavy winching. Very happy.

I've always used Optima before

In my Jeep and trucks but they've gotten too proud of their name. This Duracell AGM has nearly the exact same specifications as the Optima, for about $100 less. Time will tell if it will prove as trustworthy but I expect this Duracell will prove as reliable as their batteries have always been.

Great bang for the buck!

I recently purchased this battery. It worked as designed. Got it for a good cost with the instant rebay.

Great Battery

Great battery for group 34. Fits like a glove for 06 Chrysler Pacifica. Would definitely recommend to others....Worth the money!

Still going strong

Had it for over 3 years now in a Chevy Tahoe, still cranking like it's new. I've even abused it a couple times now by letting it get discharged so much my car wouldn't start because I left my dashcam plugged in for too many days. Put it on my charger and was working fine after. Will be buying another one whenever this one dies.

3 yr battery but only lasted 2.5 months before it died, ok battery, glad it was still under warranty, but new replacement you are only offered the remaining months from previous battery, in my case 6 months warranty. For the price I expected battery to last longer than 3 yrs

Failed under warranty and got a free replacement

I purchased this battery for my Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2018, and just had it replaced 4 months before the 3-year warranty expired. Sam's processed the replacement no questions asked which is why I'm giving it 3 stars and not 1. They did inform me that you only get 1 free replacement, so hopefully this one will last another 3 years. With the colder temps this winter, it had trouble cranking and I had to keep it plugged in or it would die after sitting for a few days. Checked the ignition-off draw of the Jeep and it was within spec (35mA), checked the battery with a load tester and it was at 55% state of health (replacement needed). It still started if I kept it plugged into a charger overnight, but this morning the Jeep would just crank without starting. I guess it just wasn't providing the CCA needed to get the motor running. Swapped in a spare battery and it fired right up. Brought the old one back to Sams and got a free replacement. I'm not convinced AGM batteries are worth the hype. My old Interstate conventional battery also failed after 2.5 years, and I was hoping this one would be better but it seems to be about the same. I guess the one benefit is the 3 year warranty. Interstate only offers 2 years so I guess this makes it worth it.

Dead less than 12 months Warranty never in stock

Died in less than 12 months. Warranty is for replacement with exact same battery but Sams never has it in stock and won’t order it so can’t get it replaced. Free replacement only good if Sams stocks battery. This is exact same battery as Super Start Platinum which I had to buy to replace battery(was on sale for less than Sams)
