One friend of mine had a very bad experience with this battery. 
Yes, Pep Boys replaced it under the warranty with no charge, no problem,
one month after he bought it. Than they did that again in another month.
But it kind of sucks to change the battery three times in 3 months.

I personally and all people I know had never any problems with Die Hard
brand. You get them at Sears for ~$60. It will serve you for many years.

HTH,
