Platinum PM-2

It was time to replace my original Kubota Tractor battery and have always gone with DieHard as a replacement choice for any of my car or implement battery needs. The dual posts were exactly what I was looking for (Easy hook-up and little clutter,) due to additional accessories I was adding. The AGM type... read full review »

Most Helpful Critical Review

I bought a PM-2 in December 2008 to run a small boat trolling motor; awesome power, no maintenance, plenty of run time. Never discharged below 9v and placed on a 3-step charger immediately after each use. One cell went bad 18 months into the 3-year warranty period. Sears tested and said it was fine....

I bought this battery for my Jeep instead of the P4 because I wanted accessory posts on the top instead of the side. These are perfect for attaching COM equipment. Great battery for a great price.

Good Trolling Motor Battery

I bought 3 of these batteries for my 36V boat trolling motor. I recommend using this battery for long life and quick charging recovery. I went through too many other marine batteries that had to keep refilling and would die within 2 years.

Ham Radio High Power

This battery was purchased to replace an old battery that is used to power my 500 watt ham radio amplifier and supplement my emergency radio communications gear while volunteering my time. AGM batteries are known for their very good performance and seeing that Sears has made this battery easily available caught my interest. The battery has both conventional and screw terminals making it easy to attach electronic gear. The no spill design and engineering for rugged applications are perfect for rugged mobile operation and unattended operation with radio gear drawing high currents for 8 to 12 hours.... read full review »

Killer battery

I bought this to replace my main battery in my Range Rover Classic. This is the Sears brand relabel of a highly recommended "other" brand that sells for over $100 more elsewhere. Immediatiatly noticed that the truck cranks so much faster. In fact, had a hard time the first 2X switching the key from strat to runn as the engine fired in an amazingly fast time! I will be buying a second one when I get my winch in and running these as a dual setup with the second one isolated. In short, great, great battery.

Awesome

After destroying a $300 Goretex rainsuit with battery acid that leaked while I was carrying the battery, I decided to buy a new trolling motor battery. I carry batteries alot because I mostly fish rivers from my sportspal canoe which is powered by my Minn Kota. I ended up with this battery after comparing it to Optima batteries. The warrenty on the Optima was terrible compared to Sears. This is one Awesome battery. I have had it for 1-1/2 years now. I just came back from a trip today where the battery literally lasted three days on the Allegheny River. My old Stowaways would have died after one... read full review »

Had this for 18 months now using it every weekend ...discharging it to about 50% for lipo battery charging at the RC field.  Still working like new.  I Like this battery due to the fact it cannot leak acid on you or explode when arcing terminals to a discharged battery.

I've had this battery in my motor home for 5 years and had it replaced three times. This time Sears won't replace it. Not very happy with customer service or the battery............I won't purchase another Sears battery.

I've .had 2 of these batteries for my 24 volt trolling motor for two years now....I have a 20'' boat and use it about three days a week ........the motor is used sometimes 6-7 hours for steady trolling ........I have an on board charger and am always amayzed when I get back to my dock and the charge indicator shows very little discharge......After I plug into the AC shore current to charge the batteries it takes less than an hour to top them off..... They also hold their charge during winter storage and only discharge about 1% a month......No need to top them off every other month like you're... read full review »
