The batteries went out on my truck 3 Sundays ago. Went with the Diehard Advanced Gold AGM batteries from Sears. A bit pricey for the pair, but Made in the U.S.A. which drove my decision to forgo the Walmart or Sam's Club batteries.

Edit: I did put the brand offered at Sam's in my wife's Aspen last year and haven't had a problem. They are much more inexpensive than the Diehards. I didn't know any batteries were made in the U.S. until my buddy mentioned it. If I had known that I probably would have put a Diehard in the Aspen as well.

I have had great luck with red top optimas. I got my first set in 06, traded them in in 2013 and they were still going strong. (I get a good deal on batteries)

I have not had an issue with them...

Not to hijack this thread, I looked up on optima's website and they didn't list anything for 2010+. I was wanting to get those but didn't know what other size would fit?
