I own the Die Hard Platinum badged version of the 1500DT. i agree you get the same battery but with a much better warranty if you buy it from Sears.
i love the battery. it is a great AGM battery. it replaced a 7 year old red top optima.
Keep_hope_alive: What is the difference in the warranties for Sears and Odyssey on the 1500DT? I thought each was 4 year replacement. I am looking at those two batteries, and may have to go with the Odyssey just because they offer a 34R and Sears does not.
For you guys using the Odyssey 1500DT or the Sears DieHard platinum version of the same, what type of battery terminals are you using? I noticed there is a small ridge not far from each post and wanted to know if that caused any issues with larger terminals?
