I'm done with Duralast. Had 3 of them in my GS and they all seem to fail a month or two after the full replacement warranty expires. The 'prorate' is a joke because by the time I replace it, the battery price gone up and it'll end up costing just as much as it did initially.
I buy Kirkland/Interstate at Costco unless I can't find the size I need.

Odyssey. Some of these batteries are used in racecars and in small aircraft. They are extremely durable and can withstand numerous total discharges to like 8 V and still be brought back numerous times to like 12.87 or so volts

I have the dealer "Lexus" battery in my SC300, that's what it came with 4 years ago when I bought it. No idea how old it is, fires right up, even after sitting for a couple of weeks.

Both Exide and the Sears Diehard used to offer a lifetime warranty, years ago...the batteries were that good. Then, it got trimmed to ten years, then to what it is today. Still, the existing warranties are good by today's standards.

Costco/Interstate offered the best price last year when I needed a battery.
