Battery Energizer or Duralast
I just replaced my OEM H5/LN2 group 47-sized battery with a Duralast Platinum H5-AGM Group Size H5/LN2 680CCA battery. After having my mechanic change the settings in the ECU from EFB to Fleece for battery technology, 60Ah for rated capacity and set the date of install for the last 8 digits of the serial number, all seems to be fine. It fits the OEM position and cover perfectly.
Pros: fits OEM position perfectly
Vehicle:
Audi
I've also had great luck with AutoZone's Duralast Gold/Platinum batteries and they have better warranty than most others as well.
Pros: great reliability, good warranty
My last battery was a Duralast Gold and it lasted 7 years.
Pros: lasted 7 years
Picked up a Duralast Gold from Autozone back in July for my GLI. $155 after returning the OEM battery for the core refund.
Pros: core refund
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I had my battery moment on my 2011 Outback, I bought a Duralast Gold 640 CCA and it's been working fine ever since.
Pros: working fine ever since
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Just replaced a Duralast (Autozone?) yesterday in my Silverado. It was from 11/09. It had a pretty good run in several vehicles of mine.
Pros: pretty good run
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Silverado
Went to Autozone and purchased there Duralast platinum, full 5 year replacement warranty for around $145. I installed it myself and had to reset the windows. Great since.
Pros: full 5 year warranty
Mine went at 32K...just crapped out on me one morning. Luckily I work part-time at a Tire/Battery Garage. Put in an Energizer group size 47 (as stated above)
Cons: crapped out one morning
Mileage: 32000 km
I had the misfortune of having a dead battery today... I've had the Duralast battery in my car for less than a year... I opted for the $70 Duralast - it sucks... Piece of shiznit.
Cons: dead battery, sucks
duralast has giving me nothing but probs.
Cons: giving me probs
