DieHard Batteries Reviews

We purchased a Die Hard Silver battery for my 2019 /subaru Legacy in December 2025. Within 3 months I had to have it Jumped one day and within a few days the battery was completely dead. I took it back to Advance Auto and they replaced it under the 2 year warranty. We had cold weather in March 2026 and the same thing happened. The battery was replaced again in April and within 2 months it happened again. I brought my car to a garage and they checked the car thoroughly -no issues found and my car had no parasitic draw to cause the drain on the battery. In June I brought the car back to the garage after the 3rd battery died and they said it was a faulty battery. I went back to Advance Auto again and had an Optima Red battery installed and we've had it for 2 weeks and have had no issues.. We wanted to see if anyone else has had similar issues with this battery.

Went into Advance Auto Parts Store # 8193 yesterday and tried to replace a Die Hard Gold battery which has a three-year warrant on it. The lady working could not pull up the ticket, and I then told her that the other store I just left from pulled it up by the phone number. Well, when she did that, she had to scroll through all dates and the stuff said that we would be better off coming back tomorrow and talking to commercial. So, with me having to work I called commercial and was informed that I could not do a replacement because the battery was replaced 2 months after purchasing it and they only allow one replacement per battery. So why send the more money on a three-year warrant battery? This place is the biggest rip off. I know I can go to other part stores and replace a battery multiple times if needed. My advice go somewhere else avoid Advance Auto Parts and the Die-Hard battery, the service sucks and they rip you off.

Used to Love Die Hard batteries when Sears sold them. However the current Lawn & Garden batteries are complete garbage, regardless of the Die Hard brand name, which used to mean something. If you get 2 years out of them you are lucky. Last one (3#) I bought crapped out exactly one year from date of purchase. The warranty is 3 months, which should tell you something. I will never buy another one. I used to get 4 years out of a Husky from Tractor Supply.

Bought a Diehard Gold at Advance. Crapped out after only 1 month. They replaced it no problem but now I’m skeptical about diehard. 2013 Cadillac SRX.

Purchased a DieHard Silver and have exchanged it twice within the 2-year replacement warranty. Charging system verified by Ford Dealership as working properly.

OE battery in my Audi finally died, lived in small town and Advance Auto was the only parts store. They sold me an undersized H8 AGM rather than ordering the H9/95R size of the OE battery. It died in a year. They replaced with another H8 AGM, which died before hitting two years in car. I reminded store rep that the H8 is undersized for my vehicle and not the factory-sized battery, which is 95R/H9, so he did the right thing and ordered the H9 AGM, which is not typically shelf-stocked in any parts stores I've checked. The H9 Platinum AGM was great until a big polar vortex -15 F temps overnight, and since has not been holding charge. Use an automated trickle charger just to keep it going. Still under warranty too, as I had to pay some towards the final battery, as pricing had changed since bought first battery, but the battery tests fine and test report just says it needs to be charged...yeah, right.

Bought DieHard from Advance Auto in May for a 2019 Subaru Legacy. It died in July. Had car towed to mechanic to make sure no electrical drains. Advance said it was bad coil and replaced free of charge. Now new battery dead again. Will get my money back!! No more DieHard! Bad product!

The battery lasted about 2 years. It died without warning. I bought Diehard from Advanced Autoparts. DieHard were reliable batteries back in the day. It is not a cheap battery either. Not going buy it again.

Obviously they don't trust the quality of their own batteries since the warranties are non-transferable when a vehicle is sold. Sounds like a cheap way out to me. Will never buy another DieHard battery again.

In November, 2024 I bought a Diehard gold for my Porsche. After a short time it began to die. Initially I thought it was due to not driving the car far or everyday. Eventually, Feb 2025 I returned the battery to the store and the test showed it would not hold a charge. Also I notices corrosion at the bottom of the tray. Today, April 2025, I had to replace the battery again. When I took the battery out there was more corrosion and you could see fluid leaking from the top (side) of the battery. The store gave me a new battery from a different batch. However at 229.00 this is ridiculous.
