Odyssey, Northstar, or DieHard...again!

[NOTNSUV]

Been all over the site and see what folks are choosing but no direct links to the actual product.
I'm looking for equivalent the Mr. @Jerry Bransford posted a couple years back.

Dual terminal (top/front) AGM for winch and/or accessory mount. Any of the brands in the title seem to be on everyone's good list.
I find the DieHard Platinum local at Advance but don't think that one has the dual terminals.

Appreciate a link to the Group 34 not just the manufacturer's website that I have to hunt/peck (Northstar for instance).

Not 100% I need a battery but wanna be ready go when it's gone for sure. Was dead today after installing the full doors and fuse #4. Might have left the dome on or such... dunno.
Appears the battery might be nearing 10 years old.

Thanks.

Not specifically what you asked for but , I just installed this one. I’ve had good luck with optima batteries in a few vehicles.

Thanks. Seems most are giving up on Optima. I had only 1 and it died prematurely.

I reckon I’ve been lucky. I’ve had the one on my Subaru for 3 years now. It ate the factory batteries up in a year. I guess I like the fact that I can get them local too. Time will tell how long it last on the Jeep.

If I don't get 7 - 10 years out of a battery I move to a different brand.

As soon as the company was sold years back and production moved to Mexico the quality also left.

That’ll happen for sure.

That’s a long stretch on a battery and honestly , the O’reillys branded battery I had in a ford ranger lasted about 8 years.

Count me in that group. I had three Optima batteries in a row die premature deaths in my TJ.

@NOTNSUV the Odyssey p/n is Odyssey 34/78-PC1500DT.

Thanks.

Yes that is the dual post version as indicated by the /78 suffix. I am running it's twin brother called Northstar which is even in the same battery case. https://www.batterysystems.net/northstar-nsb-agm-34-78-group-34-78-battery

I have little complaint of my x2 power (it's a northstar, branded for Batteries Plus) - https://www.batteriesplus.com/product-details/auto_light-truck/battery/x2power/sli34=78agmdp

For what it's worth I installed a NAPA Legend AGM in 2010 and it's still going strong .

My first and second batteries made by Odyssey lasted over ten years each.

I was running a close-enough Optima in my TJ for a couple years (it was nearly brand new and came in a project car I bought that... still isn't going to need a battery anytime soon) and it just recently gave up the ghost.

I put the one-year-older Walmart special that the TJ came with back in it and it's still cranking like a champ. So, yeah, no love for Optima here.

I'm a fan of Costco's battery warranty process, because I've already wasted too much of my life waiting for OReilly/Autozone to charge and test very dead batteries. They don't carry the 34 in AGM but they do have the H5 in AGM, which seems close enough to fit the tray.

I have had a Interstate for 6.5 years and had it tested recently; the results were the battery is at 90% and still going strong.
When this battery does give up the ghost; I have already looked at the NorthStar at Batteries Plus

Optima yellow top here, was what I could get when I needed it, haven’t had any problems with it the 2 years I’ve had it but only time will tell. It does get run in accessory for a long period often, and has been good at that.
