This topic came just in time. I killed my yellow top three times during the summer and it just didn't have it in it any more. Grabbed the orielys agm. Let's see how it does.
O'Reilly top and side post AGM battery
- Thread starter Irun
- Start date
Mine was delivered yesterday. Unfortunately, I won't get time to install it until later next week.
Zero issues and was a solid purchase. Just be sure to use a trickle charger, if the Jeep sits idle for long periods.
Not sure what the rest of the country has to say but my local O'Reilly's says they are either not producing or don't have any Group 34 or 34/78 AGM batteries anymore...
...I have the Odyssey Extreme in my CJ, they have been great, but they are sold out or no longer available as well...
...Napa next best thing?
edit: Batteries Plus has their X2 Extreme series and is made by the same company that make the Odyssey battery which is Northstar. $369 with a 4 year free replacement...I think I might go that route...

Honestly, IMHO batteries are hit-or-miss these days regardless of brand name.
I've had expensive batteries give up early (better advertising than product!) and I've had 'no-name' batteries (3rd party, "store" brands) that were still strong at 5+ years.
I always have this thought in the back of my mind when I'm buying a battery:
"The cost of just a single tow makes a cheap battery no bargain."
