Any brand suggestions will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

However, I have a local Interstate refurbishing center, and can buy them at a really good discount. I get 5 years plus out of all of them I've bought. You can save a lot. I spend around 40 bucks for a battery that would cost 125 to 200 new in store. These are completely rebuilt. So, check your area for rebuilt/refurbished Interstate battery wholesale locations, if any.. it can save you some bucks. rookido, azzkikr and Damage_inc- 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costco doesnt have brandname batteries but they give a similar warranty and lot less headache if there are any issues. I have my car tires from them and there are lesser gotcha and exclusions with them. rookido 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I've just found out that there are multiple local distributors who carry interstate battery where I live and they have very good reputation. I will go with the megatron plus battery- one top of the line. I'm not costco member and that is out of the question. costco do have very competitive price/performance for kirkland signature brand. Exide battery is so expensive to me- I need to change the battery one hand with the other hand holding a bottle of heineken (lol). Once a again, thanks all for quick inputs. deerejon and azzkikr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Only a handful of manufacturers and each manufacturer makes many brands. Get one from a national chain and keep the receipt for the warranty in the glove box. That way if your traveling and have issues then it will be easy to get it replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
