Anyone using AutoCraft Platinum AGM Battery
Today I just replaced my 9 month old AutoCraft Platinum AGM Battery. I had purchased from Advanced Auto and of course they replaced it with no problem. Was fine two weeks ago and completely dead yesterday. I attached my charger and 24 hrs. later still nothing. I have always used Sears Die Hard batteries and never ever had a problem in the past. now I'm concerned it could happen again. What experience has everyone had with AutoCraft Platinum batteries.

Have them in both of my cars due to the warranty and plethora of locations. Zero issues.
They're identical to an AC Delco. All batteries are manufactured by like 3 or 4 companies. You got a lemon. Wouldn't worry about it at all:
I work at a Mazda and Subaru dealership and our batteries are just Interstate batteries with fancy stickers slapped on them. Just like those above.

I have ran the advance AGM's in all my cars. I have had an issue with 2 out of 6. Last year the one in the Vette was fine going to work. I cranked it 6 hours later and everything went dead. I put my Beatit 2000 amp jump on it and it showed 5 volts. It fired right up with the jump. Got home and had to replace the battery.
The Traverse has one in it and sits a lot without being driven much. That one has to be 4 to 5 years old now. No issues with it.
I recently switched to a champion AGM from Pepboys because it had better discounts and a rebate to boot. Plus the warranty is 4 years and not 3. Been running that in the Mini Cooper S for about 9 months with out issues. That car may also sit for weeks at a time.

The first Autocraft Gold battery lasted seven years in my C5Z and the car was rarely driven. When I purchased the car back in 2018, I replaced it with another Gold.
So far, I've had good luck with the battery.
