    I bought the DieHard battery and it was a great price. Hooked it up and the car started right up. Time and time again DieHard batteries brand has done exactly what it said it would. The brand has been around for awhile and they have a nice variety in the stores and you can find them in any store. The company has always been consistent and has yet to show me anything negative about their brand

    My overall experience with my DieHard battery was good. You can find them just about anywhere. It was a bit expensive and I might lower the price a little to make it affordable for everyone, but built to last. It also comes with a good guarantee. I still have the same battery after 2 years, and haven't had any issues with it yet. I would choose it over any other battery and I would definitely purchase a DieHard battery again. Hopefully, I won't need to anytime soon.

    I have had a very good experience with DieHard Batteries and I have been happy with my purchase so far. The performance of the battery is excellent. They last a long time and I have no problems with it. The car starts right up every time and I don't need any car jumps. Even when the car sits for a long time, I turn the key and the car stats right away. It also works great in extreme cold during winter or in extreme heat during summer. Makes everything run smooth and the car runs great. The cost of the battery is a fair price considering how long the battery lasts. It's a good value. When I have to buy another battery I will choose another DieHard Battery. I give the battery a thumbs up and would recommend this battery to anyone.

    I just wish the battery was not so heavy but all of the batteries are very heavy. Also, I wish there was another way to hook the cables up to the car. It's hard to hook the battery in. I wish the battery was not so expensive and that it would be under warranty and if the battery fails you could return it for another one free. I also wish there was a way to tell how much charge is left in the battery instead of just trying to start the car and it doesn't start.

    DieHard Batteries has the best price of the options I had at the time and it held up very well. I do not have the car that I purchased the battery for anymore but the battery was not the issue and was still probably perfectly fine even though the car had to be junked. I was happy with what I paid for. It worked well for me.

    The Diehard battery was suggested by the salesperson and he indicated that it was dependable and for the price and the reliability of the product it would be an excellent choice. However if the battery had not been on sale at the time, it would have been a cost prohibitive choice. The Diehard battery has been installed for two years and lived up to the salesperson’s word of dependable through various types of weather conditions. Despite random cold to hot weather conditions, the battery has started the automobile engine without any hesitation. The size and ability to install the battery do not present a challenge to the installation process.

    I found the experience very good. Knowing that I wanted a DieHard made it easier because I didn't have to look at others. It made it easier on the salesperson because they didn't have to show me a lot of different batteries to choose between. DieHard batteries are die hard. They last and last with minimal upkeep and are dependable. When starting my car, I want to know that when I put the key in it's going to start for sure. With DieHard batteries I feel secure knowing they work. The only thing is they are costly. I suppose it's better to spend it than throw good money after bad.

    I really like DieHard Batteries. It's a high cranking amp battery. It has not failed to start my truck even in the coldest of temperatures. High heat have not caused it to fail neither. I am very pleased with it. I have left my lights on for hours and my truck still started right up. I like the reputation that the DieHard brand carries with it. Year after year it is a proven tough product that people have come to rely on. People like me who use their vehicle everyday for work and then for personal use as well. However, these batteries are still very pricey. They still remain some of the most expensive batteries on the market. I wish they would match other battery manufacturer's prices. I think a lot more people would switch batteries if they were more affordable.

    Bought batteries and other DieHard products when I needed something quick and reliable. Generally speaking, these are some of the only things I have found that are ready to 'plug and play'. They are dependable. Also, I have even searched for and found instructions on self-recycling of batteries and equipment to save money. This negates the problem of the initial payment of the battery and/or equipment. However, the most difficult part of a DieHard is the price. For many of us on an extremely tiny budget, the initial payment of a DieHard is the most frustrating part. If only I could have the dependability and reliability with a more affordable product line I would happily advocate for DieHard products for everyone.

    When the temperature dropped to around zero I was still able to start my car without much trouble. That means a lot around WV as it gets a lot of snowy weather. Nothing is worse than getting off work at midnight in zero degree with negative wind chill and find you aren't going to be going home.

    On 02/14/2016 I purchased a Die Hard battery (with two years free replacement warranty) for my Honda CRV car (mentioning here at the time of this reviews car’s mileage read 38k.) During two years I noticed a poor performance of this battery and after three trips with the battery to the store I purchased, can prove my affirmation. On 11/16/2016 (11 months after date purchased) the car failed to start. After I evaluated the problem I took the battery to the store to check it. I spent there one hour waiting for them to test/recharge it.

    Their result was “battery good condition”. Between 11/16/2016 and 01/04/2018 the battery failed to start my car another three or four times, situations when I decided to avoid another trips and waiting time consuming to the same store and recharged the battery myself using an Die Hard battery charger. On January 04/2018 the battery failed again to start my car and decided to bring the battery for the second time to the same store I purchased... at that time I suggested the store mechanic there may be something wrong with the battery that is keep losing charge after a while and special after happened many times. They said in order to replace it the battery need to be tested first.

    After another one hour waiting they handled the battery to me and I noticed it was overheated which suggested me the battery was forced to recharge. I told the mechanic that the battery temperature is not a good sign and he told me not to worry since that is a normal (mentioning here at that time battery was still under ears with probably 4 to 5 weeks warranty left). In that condition (with the overheated battery) they still refused to admit there is something wrong with the battery. On March 05/2018 the car failed again to start. My wife called triple AAA company since I wasn’t home. The triple AAA person said battery is dead and need to be replaced.

    I took the battery myself to the same store for the 3rd time and I told the mechanic there must be something wrong with the battery since it is losing the charge too quickly even if the car was sitting 2 days in a driveway. They said again battery needs to be tested... another hour waiting... finally a lady came and give me the “great” news battery failed to meet standards and told me “I need to purchase a new battery” since warranty expired one month ago. My point is this... battery was defective from the first day I purchased, or at least it failed prematurely.

    Sears REFUSED to admit there was a issue with the battery even after the battery was forced to recharge at least 7 times during the first two years of use. Sears tried to “push” the time over the two years free replacement warranty JUST for the simple reason to tell me “is out of warranty, so we won’t be able to replace it”. At this point I decided to buy another brand. NOT Die Hard anymore and NOT from Sears anymore.

    I purchase a Sears Diehard Battery Charger 18 months ago and only used it a few times before it failed. Customer Service dept. told me that the warranty is only good for 12 months, and that they cannot service it. I asked for a service manual, but I was told that there is no product information available. This is very poor product service for a large company that has had a good reputation for product serviceability. Most reliable companies back up their products with product information, part numbers, schematics, mechanical drawings, etc. for years after production. This is a very good reason why buyers should use caution in purchasing from Sears due to their new service policy.

    Our Die Hard battery, which just turned 3 years old was losing charge. We needed to get to work so we rushed to our nearest Sears Automotive Service Center. My husband ran in to check the warranty and cost. I stayed in the car and organized my paperwork, and straightened up the dashboard area in my car. I put things away and made it neat. I put a rolled up receipt with a small personal financial note on it in the glove box. I checked my ashtray and put nails I recently picked up in our church parking in there. One thing which was very important and sentimental to me/us was the $10.00 bill our son, who recently died, left me in this very ashtray. I keep it where it was exactly left for me by our son. It was there when I was cleaning up my car minutes before while waiting for my husband to return with the new battery. I touched it and saw it.

    My husband soon returned but instead of buying a new battery, the Sears mechanics wanted to check our battery and/or alternator. They said they wanted to charge us correctly since the battery wasn't that old. I was surprised they drove my/our car away from us to the far side of the garage - the furthest away from us. I stood there, watched them and I didn't feel right. Something didn't seem right. My husband reassured me to trust them, "They know what they are doing." They certainly do! After around ten minutes, we settled the bill for the battery and some of it was prorated. We returned to our car. I opened the ashtray immediately upon return and the $10.00 bill in our ashtray was gone. I was distraught being it was from our son who recently died.

    I approached the manager and then we all went to the mechanic, who drove our car away and tested the battery since I watched him for a while not feeling right about this. He said he didn't take it, but we asked him to show us his wallet and empty his pockets. After the second try and after he just pulled out his cell phone only, we asked him to pull his pants pockets inside out. He reluctantly did, hiding the $10.00 palm side down. We got it back, but it was after our hounding and being through another hell for us. It was our son's $10 and it upset us so much and it still does.

    We live with daily heartfelt grief and to be ripped off by some creep, who has sticky fingers and can't keep them to himself, makes our hell worse. He more than likely does this to many Sears customers and goes through their cars, often stealing what they won't notice right away. The customers then realize it maybe days later when they think they misplaced it or lost it. I feel sorry for the elderly. It was that creep who goes through the glove box and ashtray. Mind you, I didn't think my car would be driven away from me. I thought my husband was going to return to our car with a new battery on hand. For them to check the battery and alternator (our alternator light was not coming on) away from us was suspicious and I was right.

    Not only did he steal our keepsake $10.00 bill from my ashtray, he took a rolled up receipt from my glove box. I know it was there because I just cleaned the glove box minutes before. It had a personal financial note on it. How many more people does this happen to? Not only money theft, but identity theft while you just get a stupid car battery. It only took about ten minutes. This is not right. This should not happen to anyone. This should not happen to longtime Sears customers who have carried their charge card for many years and so have our parents.

    Sears was to check the battery because the car would not start but it would crank but not fast enough to start the engine. So my husband jump-started it and it started right up. The car is a 2001 VW with 85,000 miles. We noticed it was a die-hard battery. My daughter drives the car to work. She works at that same mall so she said she would have it checked later on in the evening. She called me and said the mechanics at Sears told her they were sorry they got some lights on the dash and could not get them off so she would have to take it to a dealer and get it fixed. Well, the radio doesn't work it is completely blown and the ABS service engine seat belts, etc. lights are on.

    The closest VW dealer is about 1 and 1/2 hours away. There is one mechanic about 20 minutes away that only services VW's. He put it on the machine and said they hooked the battery back wrong, positive before negative and it is going to cost several thousand dollars to fix it. I am going in to talk to Sears to see what they intend to do to fix the mess they made. I already had to buy my daughter another car so she can get to work. But needless to say, it will not be taken to Sears.

    I had purchased a Die Hard battery at this location on 10/31/08, almost exactly one year ago. My car had stalled out a few times this morning so I asked them to do a battery check. They performed the check and stated that they fixed a loose connection. They then recommended that I replace the serpentine belt. I said okay. Because the shop had a walkway I could stand in and watch the repair, I walked over and watched, from a distance of about 10 to 15 feet, the repairman replace the belt.

    After being told that I was ready to check out, I paid the bill and went to get inside the car. There was a hole punctured into the hood. There was no damage to the hood and certainly not a hole in it, prior to turning it over to Sears. I walked back in and pointed out the damage to the technician. We raised the hood and saw a tear in the hood lining that matched up with the hole and saw that the hole had been made from the underside of the hood. At this point, the assistant manager told me that he knew the puncture was not caused by his shop because he had been standing by the repairman when the repairman let down the hood ever so gently. This was a bold-faced lie - I had watched the repair and he was nowhere to be seen when the belt was replaced. I would like to pursue legal action.

I used the vehicle several times over the weekend. When I tried to start the car on Monday morning, it would not start. I boosted the battery, and took my vehicle into my local garage to check the system. The mechanic test my electrical system, and told me my battery was no good. I told him I had just replaced it. He noted it was a DieHard, so I should just return it and get a new one.

    When I brought it to the store, I got nothing but a runaround. The service center manager told me that they had to test the battery for 45 minutes for warranty evaluation. I was in a hurry, so naturally I objected. I said I just want to exchange the bad battery for a new one because it was only 3 days old. He refused to do so. I asked to speak to the manager, and he told me he WAS the manager. I therefore asked to speak to HIS manager. He called his manager, and I overheard him explaining to him that a customer wanted to speak to him. When he got off the phone, he told me that his manager was in an interview for the next 30 minutes and could not speak with me.

    Evidently, at the new Kmart Sears, Customer Service is a secondary priority. After 30 minutes went by, I showed up again for the Service Manager. He went out to test the battery again, and told me there is nothing wrong with the battery. I could not believe the poor customer service I was getting. I asked again to speak with his manager. He called the manager again, and explained to that manager (John **) that the customer wanted a new warranty exchange even though the battery tested good AFTER it was recharged. John ** then came down from his office to speak with me in person. I explained to him that I had to make a long drive to Las Vegas, and did not trust the current battery that would not start. John ** told me that there must be something wrong with my vehicle. I told him that my mechanic told me the vehicle is fine, but the battery was weak. John ** insisted that something was wrong with my vehicle in spite of what my mechanic told me.

    I finally told him I didn't have time to argue, but I would not be shopping at Sears any longer, I had bought several sets of tires and batteries from Sears, but I no longer trust Sears warranty service. If managers like John ** represent Sears Customer Service policy, then Sears is no longer the company that it used to be. When I buy a product with 36-month free replacement, and I have problems within 3 days, I don't expect that Sears will reneg on its policy from the get go. Nowhere on my receipt does it say that Sears has the right to drag its feet on customer peace of mind when its product is unreliable. I assume I am contacting Sears internal Customer Service.
