I am running a diehard from sears, seems ok so far!
Die Hards are good batteries too, also made by the same people who make the Dualast, just that the cost is much higher. My step dad refused to buy any battery but a Die Hard.

get a interstate battery

Dave a have a Interstate battery and they last me just 3.5 years at the most. I never knew Duralast batteries lasted that long I was going to go with Wally World the next time but I think I just changed my mind since I learned about Duralast.

I never had problems with interstate batteries. I know those everstart batteries at wal-mart are junk.

The only good thing I can say about Wally World NEverstarts, is they do honor their warranty. My dad swears by Wal-Mart batteries because Wal-Marts are everywhere and can honor the warranty. And like I pointed out to him, he knows the warranty policy well, and asked him when has he ever had one that outlasted the warranty period of 3 years? He said he hasn't but he keeps getting a new battery for no charge. I like having a warranty for peace of mind, but I sure don't like to have to use it. Kinda like have an Auto Zone starter. What good is a lifetime starter if you have to change it once a year, and it leaves you stranded once a year or more? I'd rather buy a 1 year brand new starter, and get 7-10 years out of it and be done.

Well all you get with everstart lawn and garden batteries from wal mart is a one year. I had one from a free riding mower go bad month later after the warranty expired. So I couldn't return it for another one.

Its not even that anymore Dave. The last NEeverstart ATV battery I bought on my way out of town to ride, I was told only had a 30day warranty. Not sure if that is just for the motorcylce batteries, but I was understanding, it was all of the smaller batteries. In my Warrior, seems like I have to buy a battery for it everyyear and I always end up buying at Walmart like a dumbass cuz its on the way and they are open on the weekend. And I know better. But, Auto Zone motorcylcle batteries are NOT much better and also get a 30 day warranty. I could be wrong too, now that I think about it, it may be 90day. At anyrate, the warranty is very low and junk.
