I have been rather biased in my choice of automotive batteries. I have had good luck with AC Delco and Interstate. I have had poor luck with Exide, Motorcraft, and Cenex batteries. I have read there are only 3 or 4 manufacturers of automotive type batteries in this country and their products are out there with numerous names on the side and tops of their batteries. I am not sure, but I believe 3 of them are Exide Technologies, Johnson Controls, possibly East Penn, and Optima. I have bought batteries from suppliers who tend to be biased towards a particular brand, too. I can say their opinions swayed my purchase decisions and I have not had a disappointment in going with their choices. I am about to replace the batteries in 3 vehicles in the near term, with the age of these batteries ranging from 8 years to perhaps 14 years. I have had vehicles where I have replaced the battery twice in my tenure of ownership, but I also keep my vehicles a long time, too. An interesting note I want to share, is that I have had longer life in automotive batteries in the cars and trucks I have owned when I have used synthetic oil rather than conventional oil. I actually had a car I purchased as a 4 year old certified used car. I drove it for 8 years and never had to replace the battery in the car in the time I had it. It also appeared to have the original Motorcraft battery. What might support why I have had better luck with certain brands versus others can possibly be attributed back to the manufacturer of the battery itself. I am going to provide a link to something I found on-line which might help us all grasp hold of why some brands might be better versus others, as well as some other possible information. I will close with one last comment, though. I have had the best luck when I purchased the largest (cold cranking amps) batteries with the longest warranty (60 months or more). Below is the link, which I think was rather eye opening.............at least for me.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
