Purchased Duracell 124R Sept 2012 & still going strong. Hint: make sure your alternator is working properly b-4 replacing auto batteries, which ,I believe, is a common error by most auto owners. Trickle charge every few months, also extends battery life.

The original battery lasted 13 years.. Not a single issue. I replaced it with this Duracell Battery in February 2021.. Less than a year ago. This new battery is now junk. I can jump the car.. run it for an hour. Shut down and try to start the car again right away and it will not start without a jump.

I thought this was going to be a true "Best Buy". A fantastic brand label sold by an organization known for very high quality products at very competitive prices. Loved the generously long warranty, especially since most of the auto parts stores only have one in this size to choose from, and most of those are "18-month cheapies." And I gave this battery every fair shot possible - have purchased two, and got two free on warranty replacements. But after going through four batteries in 5 1/2 years, enough is enough. For those wondering, yes, EVERY TIME I had my charging system checked. They were surprised that every test they ran on it (including just a couple of days ago) checked out as close to perfect as any vehicle of this age they had ever seen. After going through fourteen other things, the last thing checked was the battery. Every time it was a bad cell. There are also those who claim the issue might be old stock. Two batteries ago, the Sam's Club technician even bypassed the ones on his shelf and grabbed a battery that had just come in a warehouse shipment. The date on that one (and on this most recent one) confirmed that they were anything but dated. It didn't matter - the 3rd one only lasted fourteen months and this 4th and last one barely lasted a year. No - this is just plain a bad battery. I don't know if battery ingredients have now been over-recycled and this is what you can expect. I was also warned that Florida heat does shorten the life of batteries, but even then, I could expect twice the life I was given. Even if the warranty means you will (always) get two batteries for the price of one, it just isn't worth the continued aggravation of wondering when and where your battery will die next (every time out of nowhere). I have changed brands now and fully expect a better life expectancy - FAR better.

First Duracell lasted two years. Took it back to Sams and they exchanged with no problem. Next battery lasted 2 ½ years. Warranty is based on the original battery, so I had to buy a new battery. I was kind of stuck at that point and went ahead and bought it. Yes, yes, I know all about the Florida heat and how hard it's on battery's. 2 1/2 years still sounds like a short live span. I don’t think I would buy this battery next time. Or, at least would shop around.

Bought Feb 2018, Battery totally dead Dec 2018. 3 yr free replacement worthless as Sam's doesn't have the battery in stock and doesn't know when or if they will get it. I was told they can't order one, they just wait and see if it comes in. Not very helpful when your car is out of service.

I always shop around when I need something. Not only was this product the best price, but it had over 100 cc amps over all other batteries. It came fully charged, and fit just like the original battery. Looks good, works Great, and with the name "Duracell", you just can't go wrong. Thanks Sam's Club! Robert P.

Replaced an OEM battery that lasted 5 years. Let's see how long this one will last.

first class service good price ready when I got to store

These lasts for just over a year on average. I had the worst shopping experince in my life to get one replaced under warrenty. Associates are rude, do not respect your time, are on phone or elsewhere keeping you waiting, in complete lack of communication and ready to bring you in a verbal confrontation. Reported to management and waiting for response. For your sanity, please shop elsewhere.

Great battery and was on sale
