depending on which duralast you get, they offer from a 1-3 year warranty...sounds damn good!

Been using them for years on 5 different BMWs...Manufactured by Johnson Controls.
Get a new one before 3 yrs, then perhaps you'll get 6 yrs for $10 a year you can't beat that. More powerful all around than OEM battery.
I don't think people realize that there are only a few battery manufacturers out there and they all manufacture retail batteries as well as OEM batteries.

Right now, I've got a Duralast in my Porsche and M3. No problems. Had a Duralast in my previous E46 M3 and past Nissans (2 300ZX's, 350Z, Sentra SE-R, Murano) and had no problems.

Michael.

Concur. Replaced my 6 year old OEM with the Everstart maxx-94R Wal-Mart battery 2 months ago. Am monitoring battery for signs of overcharging. No problems. Always had good luck with Wal-Mart batteries. Good power, even cold. I paid $77, must be because I am on the left coast.

You probably didn't return a core. That's $10
