lol priceless, and ya most batteries come from a place called johnson controls, they make almost all the batteries sold at the big chain autopart stores.

on another note, my buddy had a bagged s10 years ago with a dual battery setup and both batteries mounted under the bed, long story short one broke loose and he dragged the thing for almost a quater mile to burger king, shut it off, ate, came back out and drove the last couple miles to home with this poor yellow top getting dragged by the cables. still has it, still uses it to jump start the tractor on occasion.

i'll never buy a wally world brick battery again

Up untill last month Id have recommended Interstate or trojan.

The local interstate battery was having a sale and I got a red top Optima for $75.
It spins the motor over MUCH faster than any other battery ive had.

Of the two you posted Ive had good luck with Napa.

Stinger batteries are great, interstate, I have one of the 1000CA batteries from costco. What most people do not realize there is really only like 3-4 companies that make MOST of the worlds batteries.

Not all batteries are crated equal, not all batteries last that long. Most batteries last at most 5 years and thats pushing it. It is good to change it at that time if not sooner.
