Battery OEM Audi or Duralast
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
I ended up purchasing a Duralast Gold from autozone. It's actually Manufactured by DieHard of Sears. it's money back for the first 3 years. you get half your money back if it dies in years 4 or 5. Oh well lets hope the Duralast treats me good.
Pros: money back for 3 years
2 weeks ago, I brought in a totally dead, 16 month old Duralast battery to Autozone. The girl threw some meter thing on the battery, saw that it was bad, and swapped it out for a brand new one.
Pros: swapped for a new one
Cons: battery was dead
AutoZone. their Duralast Batteries have worked so well out here in CO.. i have abused them and used them and they still run strong... My buddy drove 10 miles on just the battery when the serp belt broke on his 2.0 and the battery made it, no problem...
Pros: run strong, abused them
Autozone Duralast gold, I think it was a 75 or 78 series, your cables should be just long enough to reach. I got a good deal on mine, and didn't have any trouble with cable length.
Pros: good deal, no trouble
I had to replace my comfort battery as well 2 weeks ago. The please start engine warning came on all the time before cranking. I ended up getting the batterie from an Audi dealer since the local VW dealer didn't have one in stock. At Audi the battery actually cost $ 60.00 less than if you would buy it from VW.
Pros: cheaper at Audi
My 2.8-year old mk6 GTI OEM battery started to show signs of aging about a month ago. It took longer to start when the car is cold and finally it failed to start yesterday. I called VW roadside assistance, got a jump start and went to Autozone, bought a Duralast Platinum AGM battery with size H6/48 . More to follow after the pics.
Pros: starts quick and smooth
Cons: showed signs of aging
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: H6/48
Replace battery with OEM battery AFS still in operable on and off.
Cons: AFS still in operable
Vehicle:
Audi A3
duralast has giving me nothing but probs.
Cons: giving me probs
