Default Are Duralast batteries any good?

It seems my autozone only has duralast batteris so im just wondering how reliable they are. For a cheap one being $100 goin up to $160 without core.

They are a brand of Johnson Controls, who also has Interstate and Optima. Chances are it will not give you issues until it is out of its warranty period.

They are just fine. Go with the 65 gold series for high cranking amps and a good warranty.

There are only 4 battery manufacturers in the entire world, they just build to different specs for different buyers. You get what you pay for.

I put a Red Top in mine because I wanted an AGM instead of a wet cell.

Go to Walmart and get their Everstart Maxx. Consumer Reports rated #1.
