I put new batteries in my truck in December. Autozone had the cheapest 1000cca batteries with the best warranty. ~$70 each. Haven't had them long, but they always get me started, even without a heater.

Those Dura-Last Golds are good batteries should be ok I have one in the backhoe Case 580C spins the old girl nice. Same size as yours 875CCA. I have 2 DEKA group 31 1100CCA in the winter ride and 2 group 31 1075CCA in the summer ride. I buy the biggest battery usually stick with Interstates or DEKA (High End) the DieHARD (High End). Batteries are like coolant whose bottle is it right now? Pushing a smaller battery to it's limit everytime you use it will kill it quick. You look at emergency vehicles they usually smoke a set each year just with the power draw of the lights and extra pounding they take.

work there

I work at an autozone and I know that if the batteries you bought were the 65 dlg model batt that you got a good battery. They have been very dependable and we have very few returns. The only people that should have a problem in an autozone are people that don't understand that there is a chance that we can make a mistake. we deal with hundreds of numbers and codes a day that it can be easy to grab the wrong number. If they keep a good head on there shoulders we can make things right but don't get ****y or we can just tell you to leave. its all in how you act.

Smile Batteries

For Bluthunder; will they be good enough for Maine?...... Having just moved back to Maine after 15 yrs in VA, the only thing good enough will be the sun damage you may have done to your face. Nothing else will face the cold, [minus zero] but keep the batteries anyway as you can use them if you have a block heater and a place to plug it in. You'll need that anyway, good luck and come on home, dryrot.
