Luckily I wheel in Jeep heaven that is roughly 15 minutes from home. Came off the trails after a pretty hard run, rock crawling and then hitting the dunes at 65mph. Aired up my tires and went to shut off for a few minutes. Wouldn't even crank over or anything, battery took a dump on me, and had to have a new one brought out. Just a friendly reminder to go get them checked. Mine was 3 years old, so it was probably time for it to go anyways.

 

Same here. my stock battery didnt event last 2.5 years. Started fine the night before but wouldnt turn the next morning. Luckily i always have a battery jumper on hand and it was covered under warranty. Best $35 ive spent

 

So the REAL question is what to purchase now that the Sears Die Hard Platinum (in the marine version) is no longer being sold???!!!

 

Even a jump for 10-20 minutes didn't help. It was that dead lol.

I was going to go with a yellow top.

 

Yeah, I need to start researching... my battery is 3 years old now. It's a Die Hard Platinum marine version... not sure how long it'll last but I need to have an idea of what I can replace it with when the time comes. I like the marine versions as they allow for accessories to be separated.

 

When mine did couple months back I went with Odyssey Extreme 34R-PC1500

 

That looks pretty similar to the DH Platinum... the 34M PC1500MST is what I would be looking for.

 

My battery died in 2.5 years. The battery was made for BMW's, etc. and not made for shaking up and jarring. I went with an Optima Yellow Top and it seems to do the job. I bought mine from Advanced Auto by going on the online chat and requesting a discount code and they gave me a 20% off and I ordered it online and picked it up in the store.

 

Nice. I bought one for now and going to upgrade it to a yellow top. Im gonna see if I can snag up a discount code as well

 

After some research, I settled on an X2 Power battery from Batteries Plus Bulbs. Performance like an Odyssey but was cheaper.
