Duralast H5-DLG vs 47-DL

Does anybody know what the difference is between these two batteries? The 47-DL is a cheaper battery and has more cranking amps than the more expensive H5-DLG. The cheaper one has a shorter warranty however. Are there any usage or performance differences? Why is the less cranking amp battery soo much more expensive?

From Autozone.

H5-DLG = $113
** 520 Cold cranking Amps (650 Cranking Amps) *** Battery is vented to outside of vehicle, -> 3 Year free replacement <-

47-DL = $69
*** 590 cold cranking Amps (735 cranking Amps) *** battery is vented to outside of vehicle. -> 2 year free replacement <-


Thanks,
k

I have bought various priced AutoZone batteries for many years, (30 plus), and in my experience they all last about the same length of time...typically 4-5 years. I'd buy the cheaper one.
