There's a Deka battery on RockAuto, too, for about $180. How's their warranty?

I'm pretty sure the Duracell AGM has a 3 yr warranty (full replacement, not prorated)

Ole Sammy got my $ last month for a regular Duracell for $135. AGM batteries aren't worth the extra for most application's.

After having a few non-AGM batteries puke acid during both autox and normal driving with a few of my other cars, I’ve decided it’s just not worth the risk to not use AGM for the cars that matter (my Vantage and a few other collectibles).

Yep, Sam gave me a new one.... no questions asked, no cost at 30 months.

At this point anything is better than getting jumped by a Volvo, wondering what the neighbors are thinking.

It was 1am, so I'm hoping they didn't see.

But don't disrespect the Volvo... it's got 218k miles and still gets me to work, where I will absolutely never drive the Vantage. It was one of the best $800 I've ever spent. #twocarsolutions

don't forget, the ,,V8V is loaded with Volvo DNA... getting it jumped by Kia, well that's whole different level...

Have you looked into the lightweight batteries and mounts sold by redpants? I was considering that. The oem batteries and its replacements seem really heavy and cumbersome.
