I have always been a fan of interstate batteries.

The worst batteries IMO are the werker brand and the ones you get from wal-mart (everstart). If you want to get an idea of what battery not to get take a peak at the battery cores at the parts stores!

personal preferance I have a werker in my truck and it works just fine. brother uses a autocraft from advanced auto. had a everstart in my truck before it lasted three strong years and now its starting to not keep charge in dads jeep been in there for a almost a year.

OPTIMA, got one in my truck, five years and it's still goin strong. I love that battery so much, i put the marine starter in my boat along with the deep-cycle for trollin, both of those are three years old ann still goin strong. Expensive but worth it.

I drive a 1999 F250 Super Duty with a V10 engine and I still have the original battery in it. There is no question as to what I will replace it with.

I found the Everstart at Wal-Mart to be a good battery for the money. The main concern should be cold cranking amps(CCA) with any brand. I usually get the biggest battery (highest CCA)that will fit in my vehicle. I have done this for over 30 yrs and felt confident my car would start in the coldest weather if everything else was correct. I would reccomend a minnimum of 2X the cubic inches of your engine. IE a 350 engine would have a 700 CCA at a minimum. Hope this helps.

I just replaced my 5 year old battery with the same kind that was in it. Durastart from Ace Fleet Farm.

I have a DIE HARD GOLD in my truck and have had no problems. Had an AC Delco for 5 1/2 yrs that worked great. Owned Interstate batteries that also worked great. IMO I would not go for the Wal-Mart battery thats just me.

Interstate here. While in a waiting room awhile back read a consumers report on best/worst batteries, the yellow smiley face brand actually scored in the overall top 5

I have always had good luck with Interstate batteries.

I have to put batteries in one of the diesel trucks again and this time going to try Costco Kirklands. The resent C/R gave them a best buy at $75. Know a few members on the diesel forums who have had really good luck with them. They are made by Johnson Controls who also makes batteries for Ford and Interstate.

The Motorcrafts only get me about 3-4 years. Cold starts on diesels is tough on the two batts.

Interstate here also for both Vehicle and Marine uses.

I will say I don't think Interstates are as good as they used to be and you'll pay out the nose for them.

I hate to say it but I've had great luck with wally world yellow batteries. The last one I bought was in my van for 7 years and was still working great when I got rid of the van.
