Anyone know what group size die hard battery will fit? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I need to replace my battery and die hard offers 50% off locally for their batteries. I want to get Gold Advanced or Platinum, but can't figure out what group size fits my car.

Does anyone know, or use a die hard battery? Using their locator on the website, it lists 0 batteries compatible with my car. (2010 Camaro 2LT).

Is the only requirement that the battery have a vent?

Die Hards used to be great batteries, IMO. Not so much anymore, from what I hear. I haven't had one in over 10 years. Probably made in China now, like Craftsman tools.

No...Johnson Controls makes the DieHard batteries still. Sears does carry it, group size 94R.

THANKS SO MUCH! 94R has vents (to hook the clear plastic vent tube to?) Any modifications required to make it fit correctly?

"Genuine/ Real Craftsman wrenches and sockets are still made in the USA, near Dallas, TX. Reason I know is I toured the facility, got a job offer there for the ram hex dept supervisor there, but turned it down for another job. They also made Snap On and another brand I can't remember now. This shop is huge, over 200k sq ft and runs on 2 shifts. They are now owned by Danaher Corp. a holding company, for better or worse.

However, many things branded "Craftsman" ain't American no more. I have an air compressor labeled Craftsman which is Made in China. But when you pay $99 for it, what do you expect?

The diehard deal expired (for half off) because I didn't purchase in time :/

Does anyone know anything about Autocraft Gold AGM (Over Diehard Gold AGM)?

Hooks right up, exact size as the original. I put an Advanced Gold Die Hard in mine when the OE crapped out on me. I have used a lot of Die Hard batteries over the years and never had a problem with them.

I would like to get a Sears DieHard Platinum for my 2010 Camaro SS and would love to know if anyone else on this forum runs one. I know that their isn't a direct fit group size but with a little modification I am more than willing to run a DieHard Platinum. Does anyone have any photos of one in their trunk? I ran a DieHard Platinum in my truck in Arizona summers and it lasted almost 6 years for me and then I was able to get a prorated discount due to the huge warranty. I love the battery and won't go any other way since they are simply rebadged Odyssey's (military grade).

Any help is appreciated!

I know the adavance gold AGM gr94 is made by East Penn. I was interested in the platinum also but there is a considerable amount of weight difference with the platinum and there was not a direct fit.
