DieHard  Platinum Automotive Battery Group Size 34/78DT (Price with Exchange)

Modern Technology ... Sealed Construction ... Maintenance Free ... High Power ... Twin Terminals ... Perfect Fit ... Extra Long Warranty!

I'm on my second Plat in 5 years. First one was DOA at Sears about 5 months outside the 48 mo warranty period. They replaced it for $100. Not bad! This is after 4 years of hard Minnesota winters in which it never failed me once. I also ran an audio system off the AGM post and did stupid stuff like charge my cellphone off the battery while it sat outside at work. You could buy a Platinum series from Sears on sale and get the service or you pay another $50 and get an Odyssey PC-1500. Get the Platinum. You can't kill these things.

Love the dual post design as it lets me use the customary top cables and hook my winch cables to the side posts. Also spins the Jeep starter faster than it has turned in 2 years, lol.

Managed to muscle in the larger (34/78DT) into an S-10 Blazer. Great in Winter & Summer.

I purchased this battery about a year ago.  I was concerned about the reviews with the side terminals, so I called sears about it.  I was told that the side terminals have been redesigned since the reported issues with them. Take it as you will!  I use the side terminals on this battery, in a chevy 2500hd, without any issues so far!  It has great cranking power, and seems to be very well built, and very heavy.  It has a killer warranty as well.  It seems to be as good, if not better than other agm's that I have used!  Only time will tell.  I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this battery again!   

The reviews consistently point to bad side terminals for the auto version of this battery - so, check out the marine version of this battery!! x4 top terminals and identical statistics.

I researched and compared alot of batteries. First I was leaning towards a spirel gel type battery. I could not find any that had the warranty and power of this DieHard Platinum P-4. I also liked the dual terminals. It has both side post (my GM truck requires) and top post. If anyone needed my help and wanted a jump start, I can easily hook up to the top post terrminal. Have you ever tried to clamp on to the small side terminal bolts? We have many cars in my household and I am glad that I can now use this new battery if help is needed. I have a online account with ****************.This battery has the highest rating of them all in another "battery group size". They make this battery in all different sizes, but they did not do a comparison test with my needed choice, group size 34/78DT. I feel that this battery will measure up to any comparison test and I'm happy with my purchase. My purchase was quick and easy. I bought it online at Sears with customer pickup service. That way I know it was in stock and waiting for me. I just brought in my old Delco battery core and picked up the new one. Park close to the store, it is heavy! I could of had it installed , but I felt it was not necessary in my case. If you can, ask for them to use a hand truck to get it to your vehicle. It does have good foldup handles on the battery. I am looking forward to many years of carefree service from my most excellant choice: The DieHard Platinum P-4 series battery with dual terminals. Thanks

Installed this Die Hard Platinum battery myself on my 2003 Trailblazer using the side terminals over 2 yeas ago. I have some power hungry audio/video electornics installed and the battery performs well. Lights do not dim & Voltage is always stable(like I said, I have some power hungry audio equipment so I have a 2fd cap installed as well, and when the audio system taxes the system the voltage variance is negligable, not woth mentioning). Have not experinced the side post terminal problems other seem to have encountered. On a couple of occasions had the vehicle sit for over 2 week in freezing temperatures and this batter had no problem starting the vehicle each time. This has been the best battery I have ever had. Highly recomend it.

For those who may not already know, this battery is made by EnerSys...same company that makes Odyssey batteries. And yes, you guessed it, these batteries are identical in every way, including the amps, and warranty. The best part is, their A LOT cheaper than the Odyssey labels. I am not currently using the side posts, so I cannot comment, but they seemed pretty stout to me. We'll see what the future holds. 

My side terminals also broke within a year, causing large problems, and sears tested only the top terminals showing everything was great. I installed top post adapters to bypass the problem 3wks ago, now possibly having issues with those! Sears wants me to bring the truck in to look for a short. I explained the short is in the battery, and the truck ran perfectly fine with my spare battery. You can see where this is going. Hopefully if I have ONE more issue, they will make this right.
