Well, the day I got my XJ the battery conveniently died (really shady dealership - truck had frame damage too but that's another story) so I just went with a Duralast Gold yellow top conventional battery.
Yesterday, my XJ had progressively more and more trouble starting, and by the time I had to have someone jump start me I decided to go by AutoZone and replace the battery.
It turns out the battery was fully covered by their warranty - no prorating, nothing. They covered the whole thing.
Given that I was ready to shell out ~$100 or so for a new battery, I asked if they could apply that as credit toward the purchase of a higher-end battery. So, $100 and some change later, I'm now the proud owner of an Optima yellow top D34/78.
In any case, I just wanted to throw out a friendly +1 for AutoZone, given how rarely they make me this happy. If you've got a Duralast that craps out on you, keep this in mind when you go to replace it.
