    Die Hard Platinum Group 34 is a superior battery. February 07, 2011

    06 February 2011. I have a 1999 Chrysler LHS 3.5L V6 with 95,000 miles on it. I installed a pre and post lubrication pump that initializes when the key is turned to "on". After bringing the oil pressure up, the key is then turned to "start". This prevents dry starting, greatly reducing engine wear. Then, when the key is switched off, I have the pump programed to run for 5 minutes. This continues to circulate oil while the engine cools down. The point for this review is this pump causes a lot of drain on the battery. I had an Interstate MegaTron II with 725 cold cranking amps. I could not find the reserve capacity stated on the battery. After the installation of my pre-post lubrication pump, if I took short trips where the pump would run several times in a short period of time, it would run the battery down. On several occasions I had to receive a jump start because of this. Obviously, the Interstate did not have enough reserve capacity, so I started looking for a battery with not only the highest cranking amps, but most important in this application, the most reserve capacity in minutes. At 880 cold cranking amps with 135 minutes of reserve capacity, the Die Hard Platinum came in at the very top of the list. Since installing the Die Hard Platinum I have had spectacular performance with more than enough reserve capacity and plenty of starting power. I now have complete confidence and peace of mind with the Die Hard Platinum installed and working wonderfully. This superior battery is worth every penny I paid.

    Poor Post Design February 07, 2009

    I purchased this battery after being told it was better and that it would fit my 2004 Toyota Sienna. The posts are on the front and different than the standard gold design. The cables on the Sienna are bolted down so they cannot be switched if you turn the battery 180. Now I have to run back tomorrow to get the gold as this one does not fit.

    Excellent battery, just became very costly. July 26, 2011
    By CarGuyinRiverside of Riverside, CA
    Pros:
    Battery Construction,reliable,great performance,Warranty,Sears Locations,Great reserve capacity!
    Cons:
    Price

    I have used the Group 34 batteries (Platinum P1) in several vintage cars originally using the old Group 24 battery. After having two conventional DieHard lead-acid batteries explode in recent years, I will only use this AGM battery or the Optima Red Top in my cars. These seem to maintain a charge very well in cars which are only occasionally driven, they will not leak or spill acid. I'm only sorry that the price recently rose dramatically.

    It is working - installation went smoothly October 08, 2010

    Pros:
    Battery Construction,reliable,Warranty,great performance,Sears Locations,reserve power

    It's hard to say much about a new battery - it either works or it doesn't.  This one is working and I am hopeful that I will have less issues with so many lights being on in a minivan, typically when loading or unloading for travel.

    Got a multitude of electrical wiz-bangs? You need this battery! October 07, 2010
    By siooss of Fairfax, VA
    Pros:
    Battery Construction,reliable,reserve power
    Cons:
    Price,weight

    Replaced original equipment manufacturer (OEM) battery in our 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT with this power house of a battery.

    Why?  Because the wife and kids kept killing the OEM battery by simultaneously watching DVDs, listening to the satellite radio, messing with the power windows and leaving the ignition in the "on" vs. "accessory" position; with the engine off!  Can you believe it!  If this has ever happened to you, get this battery for the extra 30 minutes of reserve juice and significantly reduce the risk of needing a jump start.

    I was lucky and bought this otherwise pricey battery from sears.com, with store pickup, when it went on sale for $142.49 on 21SEP10.  I also bought a Diehard North battery for my truck to get an additional $20 off by buying $200 or more of automotive stuff.  Net cost of $122.49, sweet!

    Time will tell if worth even that much money, but so far, no jump starts required!

    Did I mention this thing is heavy!  Will no doubt lose a few tenths on the gas mileage and more wear and tear on the front left tires and suspension to boot.
