They all are horrible now. Even the optima is getting lower reviews. I got the Motorcraft with the long warranty from O'Rielly and hope for the best

Sams club has duracell AGM. I have had them in my buggies, trucks, wife expedition, jeeps and forklifts I like them so far I have bought about 2 dozen so far. Very nicley priced as well. Good warranty as well.

As stated definitely get AGM to prevent terminal & cable corrosion. I have had Autocraft AGM for the last two years with no complaints, but time will tell.

They will maybe last two years. I got some from a dealer sale. And I got replacements
every 18-mos because they kept failing until the warranty ran out.

With folks stating AGM batteries, I looked at what I bought for my motorcycle about 4 years ago. It is an AGM and it is still going. I will have to look into them when the warranty runs out on the ones I have now in the truck.

Coming from ND, I'll tell you the Motorcraft batteries are actually pretty damn good. It gets colder here than most places, I'm still on the originals in my 2014, and it has absolutely never not started, and it regularly gets to -30 in the dead of winter.

I personally do motorcraft. Here in az, I'm killing them about every 2 yrs, but the warranty is awesome. First replacement set is free, second set at pro rate charge costd about the same as 1 battery, then the warranty starts all over again. So basically every 4 years I'm buying 1 battery and getting 2.

Plus, if they crack and eat your cables, that will be covered ynder warranty as well under consequential damage.

Odyssey is the best battery out right now. I’ve got them rebranded into the sears platinums and I’ve had them 4 years now with no issues. You can’t get the diehard platinums rebranded odyssey batteries anymore but you can still get the odyssey batteries.
