Pickup Battery

I also use Interstate. One in each truck and five in my boat. They've never let me down and my boat batteries cycle a lot and they take it well.

We use and sell Interstate at work.
There are only a few battery manufacturers out there, but they do not make all of the batteries to the same specs, or even test them at the same specs. I know Interstate (Johnson Controls), and Deka (East Penn) use different test ratings for their deep cycle batteries.

Interstate here to...excellent products

After working for 3 auto part retailers and a farm supply store I would say that the most critical point is to make sure that you save your receipt and buy from a seller that won't rake you over the coals if something goes wrong (and I have seen failures among all of the batteries sold including optimas). Keep all of you vehicle grounds, clamps, and cables in good condition as well to maximize battery life. Don't keep the receipt in the glove box because some ink fades from the heat.

I have had Costco batteries in my 6.0 powerstroke for about five years and I've been very pleased with them.

Costco, 36 month warranty, I replace batteries every 2 years and with costco basically buy 1 battery and you have free replacements for life.

Didn't Exide file for bankruptcy back in June?

Optima and Odyssey are the top of the heap, period the end. Cheap batteries will do fine under normal use but none of them are anything special.

I've used the AC Delco 78DT72's in my Toyota since the stock battery went out 25 years ago. These last exactly 72 months every time, but they are maintenance free and never corrode on top. Every other battery I've used on other vehicles corrodes on top around the posts, including the Interstate's on my 7.3L.

I've had good luck with Optima's and the sealed Sear's Batteries which I believe Odyssey makes but not completely sure about that. If you are going to drive on anything but the pavement a sealed battery is the only way to go. No more corroded cables to deal with.
