Battery recommendations?

I look for American made batteries, East Penn/Deka is a great manufacturer and their batteries are sold with many different labels.
I avoid Korean, Taiwan and Vietnamese products if I can help it and that is where a lot of batteries are coming in from.

My 2007 is 15 years old. I am on only my 2nd battery.
What battery you ask? Well, a GM battery, son. That is what you put in your Hummer.
What is it you ask? Cost? Oh yes, they are pricey, but son, would you rather buy 3 or 4 cheap batteries with which you double your odds of being stranded, or two expensive batteries?
Well son, now you have your answer. Call the general, he will help you.

The first one was replaced Dec. 12, 2016, not because it was dead, but because it was 9 years old and still working.
This 2nd one has been in the H2 for 5.5 years now and going strong. Built 11/15, so that battery is 6.5 years old now. Expect to get another 4 years out of her.

Note that I said 2nd battery in my post.

The DIEHARD batteries were manufactured by JOHNSON CONTROLS (same for GM batteries) Yet the failure rate had a huge increase since 2000. Sears DIEHARD switched to East Penn to save the brand, which worked until Eddie Lampert took charge and liquidated. Now Advance Auto owns the Diehard brand, and switched back to JC.
Back to Sears Auto Center, customers would bring there vehicle, after needing a tow or jump start, or even bring their battery alone. Sears had Hi-Tech testing equipment, all the techs call it the "Tank". Set the battery in, connect the cables, shut the lid, and hit the start button to run the tests. Takes up to an hour to analyze. Failure rate average <5yrs.
JOHNSON CONTROL BATTERIES ARE NO LONGER>>> A "DIE-HARD" BATTERY!
On a side note, when I purchased my '07 in '12, it had a Walmart (Johnson Controls) battery in it. I removed and sold it on CL.
