In the old days, a Sears DieHard was the only battery I would buy. Best service life, customer service, etc.
At one point I had Deka AGMs in my 3 boats, tractor and auto. Seemed like they all went at the same time. Although I was an avid fan of AGMs, one by one they got replaced with sealed lead acid. After a few years the AGMs wouldn't take a charge with my smart charger.
Today my battery of choice is a Duralast from AutoZone.
Having said that, this Summer I replaced the DieHard battery in my classic car. It was 23 years old. Yes, 23, not a typo. But of course, they don't make them like they used to.
