Anyone use this battery? What has your experience been?
Yes indeed. Great performance, similar to the MK batteries.

We use a mix of MK batteries and the Duracells depending on the year.
The duracells are easier for us to get. Batteries+Bulbs is an approved vendor for our school district, they have easy in-store pickup, and in-store recycling of old batteries. Our local store quoted them for us at $60 each.
We use them interchangeably with MKs and have not noticed any appreciable difference.

I concur pretty much exactly with what Eric said, they work just fine, we use them for 2 years and then get new ones.
We just got another 10 for this and next season.

An aside regarding recycling batteries. O’Reilly Auto Parts gave me a gift card loaded with $20 ($10 x 2) for the two SLA batteries from my house alarm that I brought them.

MK Battery gives pretty steep discounts to FRC teams. Just call them directly, tell them you are a FIRST Robotics team. https://www.mkbattery.com/. Generally cheaper than any other quality option.
