My 3 year old Autocraft gold battery is going out on me. The 3 year free replacement warranty went out in December. FML. Anyways, not sure if I am gonna go with another Autocraft. Any suggestions? I need at least 900cca, and I would like to keep it under $150. 3 years (or more) free replacement warranty is also preferred. Side post is a must, side AND top posts is even better.
I am considering a Die Hard Platinum, but they are $220 and I read LOTS of bad reviews on the side post version. The side posts are basically metal bars that are connected to the top posts, and they came loose on some people and left them stranded unable to start the car.

I had side post die hard battery, went through 3 in one year bc the damn side post bolts kept falling due to the threads disolving. I got lucky and bought a 1,000cca optima blue top for 20 bucks bc someone at gander mtn messed up pricing.
