[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1770318, member: 42463"] As said, there aren't a lot of manufacturers. I think Advance, Autozone, and Wally World have Exide batteries. Napa also carries Exide. They may have different labels but they are all made by the same outfit. Exide has been around forever and from experience and the grapevine I don't think much of them. They are either okay or crap and usually the crap ones will fail within a year. Be sure to save your receipt. I'm pretty sure O'Reilly's carries a different manufacturer. They seem a little better. Less failures overall. Interstate makes their own batteries, or used to. They were better than Exide ten years ago and I don't know why they'd be worse unless they changed something. They have a strange marketing strategy. They sell through a lot of independent outlets. Usually they are a little more expensive. I have no experience with gel batteries but I know a lot of people that like spending money like to buy them. I doubt they are worth what they sell for. Your mileage may vary... [/QUOTE]
