DieHard Batteries Reviews

Bought one platinum DieHard battery and it lasted 5 months. I returned it and had to pay for a secondary warranty and got the secondary battery replacement and it lasted 6 months. Just returned secondary battery to get 3rd replacement, now I'm given the marine battery and they told me I have to drive the car once a week at least to keep it charged. This is the first time I ever had such a battery issue. Next battery I'm going to buy a better brand as it's not worth the time lost needing the car to work versus it being dead alone needing its use. Overpriced battery but it did die hard.

I bought a Diehard red battery from advance auto for my 07 Ford expedition and it die on me in 3 weeks. I had my truck check for a problem but nothing. Take it back and give me another one and it die in a month. Advance said my warranty was void after the exchange. I thought it was one replacement if anything go wrong, Not happen. Advance die hard battery.

Always had good luck buying a DieHard battery at Sears. Not so with Advance Auto, price was way too high ($226.00). Was expecting around $130 to $150. But Battery as always had big balls lots of power for a DH Silver 650 cold cranking amps. I'll get another when needed. Wish has the lifetime replacement like at Sears.

Had old battery in my '07 Toyota replaced with a Die Hard 24F6 DHGOLD-24F-6 last February, about a year and five months ago. Got an oil change at Tires Plus yesterday and they tested the battery, it came back defective and had to be replaced. Fortunately there's a three-year manufacturer warranty on the defective one, but Tires Plus' system didn't bother to flag that outstanding warranty and had me pay some $220 for the replacement (another of similar type, I fear for the future...), so have to jump through some hoops to make sure I'm properly reimbursed. When Sears had the Die Hard name the batteries truly would last, but today, not so much it would seem.

I purchased a DieHard gold and it died about 7 months old. Continued to use it until it died again 2 months later. Returned to store where I purchase it, as it was suppose to have a 24 month replacement warranty. They say there is nothing wrong with it, I beg to differ. Replaced it myself with a new one and not a garbage die hard. Stay away from die hard. No problems with my new battery.

I purchased DieHard car batteries for decades and never any problems. Purchased a Gold DieHard on 4-2-24. It failed today 4-14-24. Initially I had reservations as hydrometer test showed nearly red zone. I should have returned to the parts store then. I have from the beginning used hydrometer testing for decades finding it reliable. This new defective battery replaced a 5 year 7 month old DieHard bought in 2018. Fortunately I had not given up the old one to get core charge refund. This old one was made by Johnson Controls before they sold the battery division to Clarios. I blame Clarios. I decided not to return the item and battle the parts store as its rep for customer service is very mixed. This is a CLARIOS' problem. So now I will purchase a 3 year Walmart battery also made by Clarios. Fingers crossed.

Battery lasted less than 1 year. Charged it once 3 months after I bought it and the charge held for a few months. Then, it would not charge or work with a jump start. Took it to an auto part store to test, and it was dead. Piece of junk. Never again.

I am on my first warranty replacement Diehard battery and it just died, so when I replace it tonight, that will make 3 batteries in three months. No warning, worked fine last night, dead this morning. I wish I had read the reviews instead of trusting the brand name. Like Craftsman tools, quality is a distant memory for these brand names.

I bought this battery a few months ago because the battery was bad in a used car I bought. The car started 3 times, then shut off and I had to mess with the battery wires to get the car to start again. I thought it was bad ground in the car, so I sold it and bought another car, and it had the same problem. I realized it was this battery, and I am never buying a Diehard battery again.

Since 2015 it has been my experience that vehicle batteries from Advance Auto (Die Hard battery label) have have demonstrated lower reserve capacity and higher internal resistance compared to previous years. Please check with Consumer Reports on vehicle battery performance in their life testing. Being a retired engineer and scientist I do have extensive equipment for vehicle battery testing, including calibrated internal resistance milliohm meter equipment and carbon pile load testers, as well as recording voltmeter equipment than can measure 1 millisecond transients.
