I'm going to respectfully disagree. I'll pay double for a battery with great cold weather performance, zero maintenance and more consistent voltage rating. I'll go as far as saying I think a lot of the "electrical gremlins" are from weak batteries that never see a full charge....

By the way, I'm nit implying that interstate is not a good bat, just don't think all batteries are creating equal.

I'll put this link on here that I had saved a while back, it has plenty of good info in tit about batteries. The problem people have when buying batteries is they only think of the CA/CCA ratings and don't even know what the AH and RC ratings are or even what they mean. This is a good read if you're considering different battery options.
