I have always loved my Optimas, and I am into a new red top about 11 days now, going strong! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones......
Batteries...what's good these days

I have warranties my odyssey 4 times now in 3 years. It’s just in my Tacoma no real heavy use, but I think that may be the problem.

Just thinking about the batteries in my 2003 Dodge Cummins that I bought new. Those batteries are the original ones and still work perfectly after 18 years in Wyoming. Now I've just jinxed myself and will have to replace them within 2 weeks.
I thought my battery was toast but it’s still hanging on, I was about to pull the trigger on an interstate agm from Costco. Price seemed pretty good, can’t speak for the battery as my cheap ass is just rolling around with my jumper pack until I have time to camp again 😂

I did pick up a mondo jumper pack so maybe I should just use that 
Full Rivers on RockAuto were priced REALLY well... but I just checked and they're out of stock for now.
I've been curious about them as well.

I’ve been happy with the Autozone AGM for several years.

This was brought up on a Jeep forum and I was surprised that about half of them said "Batteries +" had the best battery and a 4 year warranty, I myself went with Walmart because it has a four year warranty also and seemed like a good battery. Here is the "Project Farm" video testing some of them. "Project Farm" does a good job of not playing favorites as he buys everything himself and has no sponsors.

I buy all my batteries at Batteries Plus, AGM or standard. Decent prices, good warranty and good batteries in my experience, so far.

I'll have to try them when I need one for my new Jeep. Hopefully it will be at least a couple of years before I need a replacement.
Their website has them in stock, I’d probably put it in the gladiator and put the gladiator battery in the JL. Decisions
I’ve had 4 batteries crap out in two differt cars with in the last few years. Not sure why because both are driven almost daily with freeway time plus parked in a garage. No aftermarket equipment installed. I’ve used the warranty twice at Costco now and they have been good but it sucks they don’t last more than a year.

I stopped using Costco "Interstates". They didn't last a year in my 6.0. I have had really good luck with Autozone Duralast gold. They are reasonably priced and have lasted multiple years in my trailer and the truck.
