New info on batteries

[buddy48]

I am still researching info on batteries and made some phone calls today. I discovered that Interstate batteries used to be made by US Battery, but now they are being made by Johnson Controls.

Then I found out that East Penn now makes Napa batteries.

I was talking to a fried whose brother purchased the Sam's energizers and had to replace two of them 18 months later.

I think I have settled on buying the Trojan T-105s. I will know in 5-6 years iwhether or not it was the right choice!!

I have said it before and I'll say it again Correct use and proper maintenance does more towards reaping a long useful battery life than make and model Make your choice already, and then concentrate on treating them right..... My wife's Auntie got 8 years out a set of batteries ....

Couldn't have been better said. I am an engineer so I tend to over analyze!! Just want to make sure I get the best bang for my buck!!!

If it makes you feel any better the Auntie had T105s
I'm sure you will do well and Johnson Controls has been making Good Batteries for a long time
