So the batteries in my truck are 70 month old. They work great, no issues. They are a little slower in winter, but thats to be expected. They are not slow enough to even worry about...
So here is the dilemma, they are 70 months old! I hunt 70 miles from the nearest electricity and if the weather turns to crap at 6-9K feet the starting power might be needed so I want new batteries.
I am looking at Sears batteries as they give a great military discount.
The two batteries I am looking at are the Sears Platinum and the Sears DieHard Gold. The Platinum is an Odessy battery with Sears paint (info direct from Odessy) and is rated at 950 CCA. The Gold is 750 CCA.
The pair of Platinums will run $100 more than the pair of Gold's, and are one of the best batteries on the market, so its what I want. I don't want to worry about batteries when I am in the middle of the back-country with the kids.
So I guess its not really a dilemma, just complaining about spending $325 on batteries when mine still work good!
And I am doing batteries is the Wife's 4runner and my DD this winter too, both still have originals at 7 and 8 years old.
So any input?
Here is what Odessy has to say about the battery.
