One year Consumer reports rated the batteries at NAPA very high. I needed several replaced and purchased them from NAPA for my boat, truck and SUV. The truck batteries lasted 1 year the boat 2 seasons and the SUV which is hardly ever used still has the battery in it, but it has never had that kick that a good battery has.
I have since paid $200 a piece for Sears Platinum diehard batteries which have so far lasted 3 problem free years in my diesel plow truck. With starting, electric plow, duel strobe lights and heater running it beats batteries up. The Sears batteries have a 4 year replacement warrantee.
Many swear by interstate including the diesel repair shop that I use.
Just saying Sam’s club and Walmart may have a good battery but then again it may only last a year.
