    Hey guys, came out this morning and dead battery. Any suggestions on the best battery i can get at Advance AP's?, I need to get it jumped to drive about 1-2 miles to the nearest one and have a 300 mile trip today. Noticed yesterday it slow cranked once and thought it may be going. Original battery.
    thanks for any suggestions.

    I have the platinum Diehard AGM in two of my vehicles, in my Lexus that mainly sits on a Tender and the wifes 4R. Great batteries in my experience.

    sitting through cold winters and on a tender can be rough on batteries but ive had great luck with the Diehard AGM. Spend a little more the but its worth it.

    Don’t forget to check and make sure your alternator is properly charging.

    thanks to you guys, AAA actually came out within 10 minutes and checked the alternator and had a new battery in less than 30 minutes with 6 yr warranty for $149.

    Honestly advanced is the last place i'd go to buy a battery....imo they sell junk. Found wally world about the cheapest for a decent battery. If you really want a good battery, for a decent cost, get a deka.

    Deka’s are good. Ive had no problems with any of my AGM batteries from Advance.

    Those batteries are twice the cost vs a deka. I had a 11 year old deka in my tundra that still performed fine till i sold that truck.
