No. I just bought one this week. Interestingly, the Autozone Gold battery has fewer CCA's than the cheaper version. A higher CCA rating is only a good thing up to point. It comes at the expense of reduced longevity due to the need to utilize thinner plates to increase the output.

FWIW, Advance has essentially the same battery as AZ on sale for a couple of dollars more, but it has an additional year of "free replacement" warranty, and one less year pro rata warranty.
However, AZ will provide warranty service at
any AZ store. That may or may not work with Advance.
