My next battery will probably be an interstate. I have two of them in other applications (farm machinery) that have been fine for 5 years so far.



Interstate kinda went on my "no thanks" list after I had one last 18 months. :-/ True, "sample size of one" and all that. I have more evidence that Optimas are poor than I do Interstate, but still.

Since the quality of almost all batteries sucks now maybe I will go with the best warranty. Autozone seems good about replacing batteries, and you can't swing a dead cat without hitting one around here.
