Default Duralast experience.

Who here has used a duralast battery in their car? What did you think? What model was it?

I'm sorry for introducing another battery thread, but I haven't seen much on here concerning the duralasts.

No problem here.
I understand taht ther is a company comming out with a dry cell battery for cars that is just great. Operates just like a wet cell and charges the same. Looking for the company name.

I had a Gold Duralast in my daily driver Camaro, and had no issues.
It lasted 5 years before I had to replace it. Good battery

Looks like I'm the only one that had a prob. Bought a Duralast Gold for my truck and it leaked 6 months later, so replaced with Die Hard.
