Which Battery Is Better Auto-Zone Or Advance

[dilberto88]

My 2016 Duralast Platinum 850CCA AGM battery lasted until just ONE MONTH outside the 36 month warranty. How's that for covering your [censored] and getting away with it? This will be my last Johnson Controls product. I previously had good experience with West Penn-DEKA. This time around - I'm going with an Exide product (Bosch S6 L5/Grp49 AGM) battery now:

ugh. I have 3 of these in service. fortunately we haven't had any issues yet, and one was 6 months old when I bought it (only one in town, I had to drive around for it). I paid alot for AGM so you'd like to see it hold up.

Like the post above, I may start planning ahead and going with a premium brand like Odyssey at first sign of struggle in the future.
