After 8.5 yrs the Autozone battery refused to start the tractor today.. I had no idea it had been this long but the battery held up well i feel. I have the battery on a smart charger to recondition, but Im probably just going to replace it.
I could not remember when i purchased the battery but then remember this thread and dug it up..

Hey Brian,
We bought our B2320 in 2011, and the battery died this past Saturday PM- at first I thought it was just the usual BS with the safety switches not letting her turn over, but once we jump started her, she would stall every time we took the jumpers off.
So I did battery test- no juice whatsoever...
Would you get the AutoZone Duragold 51R-DLG battery again?
What was the rated CCA?
I generally try to upgrade the CCA with any replacement I do, because as long as I can fit it and lock it in, why not...
Was the hold down kit at AutoZone too?
Best of luck- thanks for sharing the info!

This is the biggest mistake you could make. Specially in tractors.
I got into a situation with the semi, where I replaced the batteries every other year. I put as much CCA in there as I could get, way north of 1000 x 4 batteries.
One day I talked to an old shop owner about the batteries sibce they were due again. He explained it that way: as more CCA the battery at a certain sice has, as more plates are installed in the same space. Due to vibrations, the plates in the tighter space are more likely to touch each other and shorten out, which destroys the battery.
I switched to batteries in the 700 CCA range and am happy with them. Last way longer.
