KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

Most car batteries last 3-5 years. If your battery is 4 years old or older, it is at higher risk for failure. One out of every four vehicles on the road will likely need a new battery this year.
Cold cranking amps measures your battery’s ability to start an engine. The specific measurement is the amount of amps delivered over 30 seconds at 0°F. High cold cranking amps give you a rough indication of a battery’s starting power in difficult conditions.
Reserve capacity refers to the amount of time (in minutes) a battery can provide power before being fully discharged. High reserve capacity is especially important for modern vehicles with accessories like heated seats and infotainment systems.

    I found this battery very easy to install. It replaces an identical model that I installed four years ago in our 2000 C-2500 GMC Sierra. Excellent starting power.

    This battery "Duralast Gold Group Size 78 Battery 78-DLG" is one of the best, had on my 2006 chevy trailblazer for about 10 years, they said it was supposed to last about 3 to 5 years, so when it finally die I end up buying the same one.

    Bought 2 new batteries for farm equipment at store in Peachtree City, GA on 3/24/2026. Young man was courteous and helpful. My check was denied--so he went to a different register and denied again. Used VISA and went home. Later that day I called TeleCheck and after a while, was told if still at business they would approve my check. TeleCheck is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau according to their website. I have had multiple issues with TeleCheck over the last 4 months. I had never had a check denied at Auto Zone prior to the 24th.
