That $300 AGM X2 didn't start my truck any better than the $125 Interstate battery does.Īs well that AGM was the first new battery that ever failed on my in my 42 years of driving. Only got it because I bought into the hype of the honored and cherished AGM fans. That X2 and Batteries Minus was my one and only experience with AGMs. They tested the charging systems and said it was fine. Same day I had a oil change at the dealership. It happened again and they backtracked on that promise. Told me if it happened again they would replace it. They deep charged it and gave it back to me. My X2 died on me twice in 6 months when it was new.įirst time I took it in, they tested it and said it was fine, blamed the truck. I drive my truck minimum 30 miles M-F, a lot more on the weekends.
#DURALAST AGM BATTERY PORTABLE#
I'd skip on the AGM and buy an Interstate MTP-24F and be done with it.īut if you do go the AGM route, I'd buy a jump starter to keep in the truck.Ī: Audew Jump Starter, 1500A Peak 18000mAh Portable Jump Starter (Up to 8L Gas or 6.0L Diesel Engine), 12V Auto Battery Booster with Quick Charge, Built-in LED Light: Automotive I bought the charger, topped if off the 1st of every month, and my X2 still died on me. Why would anyone want to have to buy an AGM charger to 'top off' the AGM battery once a month? I was so pissed at them I used a 6 month old $300 X2 for a $25 core trade on an Interstate MTP-24F.Īs many as some here love their AGMs, they aren't worth the hassle. If they don't have a loaner battery around, that is 2 or 3 days without your truck. They will tell you they need a few days to TEST the battery if it fails (twice for me in 6 months). They will try to wiggle their way around blaming your vehicle to be the problem.
#DURALAST AGM BATTERY PLUS#
I won't even get me started in the details of my X2 disappointment.īatteries Plus DOES NOT stand behind these batteries. The main thing is just to make sure you are charging any AGM with sufficient voltage (2017 here using an alt-s diode to bump it up) or make sure to put it on an AGM specific charger once a month or more to maintain it. made me think they are not as great as they used to be, especially for the price. I did read a bunch of recent X2 reviews about batteries going bad within a few weeks/months, bulges, etc.
#DURALAST AGM BATTERY DRIVER#
I wanted a battery now so I just bought it anyway, $200 for the 24F that should fit in the stock location as well, though you can squeeze a 27F on the driver side. It appears to be same case in pictures as the walmart everlast brand (Which was 25% cheaper but not in stock anywhere) however the case was not as embossed at my local autozone. Most of it was "it starts my camry so much faster than my dead 10 year old lead acid" and "it dies when I leave my key on blasting beats while shooting up and passing out for 3 days". I just got a duralast platinum 24f for my house battery in the dual battery system and was unable to find any real world reviews on them from people like us.
