Any experience with DieHard Group 65 Battery?
We purchased this battery three years ago based on great reviews and the 48 month warranty. This review caught my eye, "They are re-badged Odyssey brand, but at about 1/2 the price!" I have had to return three of them, with no problems getting them replaced by sears. Wondering if it is just my experience or maybe someone else has had some experience with them. The now fourth battery has now outlasted the other three, hopefully I finally got a good one.

Die Hard used to be great batteries. I don't know what happened to them, but they suck now.
I have started using Motorcraft's best battery with the 3 year replacement warranty. A group 65 is $129.95 at any Ford dealer. Their lesser batteries might be OK, but I spend the few extra $ on the best one.
We have bought around 10 of these in my extended family and ALL have been fantastic. The oldest is 5 years old. As a side note, the original Motorcraft battery in my wife's Expedition lasted almost 7 years. In contrast, a Delco battery in a GM is usually done within 2-3 years.

I think whomever said that about it being an Odyssey battery was confused. It is an AGM battery, sorta like an Odyssey, but that's about the extent of it.
I have AGM batteries in my truck and my Jeep, both are Vatozone batteries. The truck battery is 3 years old, no issues. The Jeep battery is only a couple months old.

I have two die hard golds in my truck only a couple months old but I've always had good luck with die hard
I had a agm battery that died on me in 3 years not to big a fan of those
One I will buy again if any of my batteries in any truck dies is a yellow top optima I had one in my lightning bought the battery back in 05 the truck sat for so long last year the battery was stone dead my smart charger wouldn't even try to charge it
Put it on the battery tender for almost two weeks then the 4amp slow charge was on there for another couple days and I'll be damned it starts the truck just fine to this day
