Key is not to keep cars long enough to need to change the battery. I've only changed 2 batteries in my life....I've had over a dozen different cars.
Costco is like $75 and a 48 month replacement warranty fyiFarm and Fleet has the best bang for buck prices on comparing CCA and warranty length. Just got an 800CCA 7yr warranty battery/3 year replacement for $107. Sale ends 1/6 if anyone is looking.
Just buy wallmart 1 year ones and change every year. like outlaw. thats the rout i will be going when i need to change my next battery.

the x2 has the 30$ off mail in rebate currently too fwiw.
that pushed me harder towards it.
and, this.
Battery Bashing - Jp Magazine
since it is essentially a rebranded northstar with longer warranty.
it's cool write up, and neat how they did their testing. i wish diehard platinums still existed & were good cuz i would have gone that route.
I thought deka was the “shittier” agm battery manufacturer. [MENTION=19]Yaj Yak[/MENTION]
There’s a ton of cool stuff and info on that site but the for sale section cracks me up. Find the most expensive example of their vehicle stock then add every mod up to the penny and tack that on top of it. There’s like 10 year old JK’s for $50k for salethose expedition portal bro's go hard into FUCKING EVERYTHING.

I'm the other end of that spectrum... Had like 70+ cars and I've probably purchased batteries for 50 of them lol.
