Don't know of any deals right now, but I'll recommend getting a DieHard Platinum battery. Had one in my car for 4.5 years now and never a problem.

Meh.... OEM Delco split and dumped its contents. Still under warranty at the time, so not exactly my problem. Running Sears Platinum. Amazed how long (6-8 weeks) I can leave it this time of year without use and it will still start.

Every manufacturer will have defective units. If they have too many they go out of business. The original Delco in my GMC pickup lasted 9 years. Who knows?

There was apparently a bad batch of OEM Delco's - a number of people posted about them on here. And although I have a Sears Platinum, I was very wary before buying as my experience with Die Hards has been more like Die Too Soon. On our other vehicles, we run Walmart's MAXX batteries - top rated, good price and because of high turnover, pretty much new when you buy them.
