Another thread this week, but my battery just failed its test, which wasn't a complete shock to me because the car died all winter long and i had to jump it multiple times.

So im in the market for a new battery.

I dont need anything super fancy (nothing light etc), but a good quality battery that can put up with the abuse of really damn cold winters (outside as of next year) and deal with my aftermarket sub/amps/speakers etc.

I was at sears tonight and almost bought a Diehard Gold B8 battery. But it was $104 and i wasn't sure if it was a good one or what you guys would recommend. So i put it back and i'll pick one up tomorrow if its one that you guys have used.

Thanks for any input!

 

I had the Diehard Gold in my maxima for about 8 years and it was great until my alternator died and took the battery with it.

 

All I use are die hard golds. Usually the last battery I buy as it outlasts the rest of my ownership of the car

 

Maybe i'll just pick up a diehard tomorrow. Are interstates any good?

 

^I've never had issues with interstate.

But I do nothing but optimas now.

 

I had a red-top in one of the TA's. No complaints... but I don't have to deal with the cold.

 

Duralast Gold is a Diehard gold. Same maker same battery just different outsides and cheaper.

I am using a duralast.

 

I'll try and see if i can find a Duralast tomorrow.

 

Just buy an Energizer. It'll keep your baby going and going and going................

 

Costco. they have optimas

 

Just picked up a Duralast Gold. Seems to be a good battery lol

 

I have heard the duralasts are repackaged die hards too.

I would buy one but I guess I am a brand name *****.

Kinda like how Insignia is a repackaged Samsung tv

 

I bought one from the dealer...

 

insignia and dynex are actually made by LG..lol i work for best buy

 

Eh, I knew it was one of them.

But I still bought the samsung
