10 years old Die hard Gold

The old batteries were great. I myself have done the flush and refill like Rusty said and have had mixed results. As long as it is just junk on the bottom of the battery that is shorting out the plates you do have a good chance of saving it. Best I have got was 9 years out of a battery. Now the new batteries are shitty for sure.

I've been with O'Reilly now 4 years in May. We have a very low warranty return rate for the Super Start batteries. They are made by two companies. Johnson Control and East Penn Battery company. Most of our cores are the Autocraft batteries from Advance. We get very little Duralast batteries from Autozone. It might be a regional thing, because we live in a pretty mild climate. I do agree 100% that batteries are nothing like they were.......but then, what is? Corporations figure out that they can make product cheaper and cheaper and consumers will still buy it.
