Interstate Batteries are junk. The best battery/$ is at Wal-Mart.

The latest tests in Consumer Reports has the Costco Kirkland brand up on
top. Years ago, it was AC Delco. Many years before, Sears. And that's just the one common size they usually pick to test. Due to the nature of their construction, tests on different sizes would likely yield a different pecking order. The one thing you should look for is freshness. Batteries stored for extended periods in various states of discharge are something to be avoided. Most brands don't hide the date code anymore. It's there if you look. Month is usually represented by a letter; A = Jan, B = Feb, etc. The year - a numeral. For example; "F4" would mean the battery was manufactured in June 2004. 3 months old is max. Check further back in the rack or go somewhere else. RT -- E-mail=fullname-at-telus.net |
