Batteries, batteries, batteries.....

Alright guys, I have searched and searched and I need some help. What batteries are in your carts and why? I hear alot of things about Trojans but then I also hear good things about some cheaper brands. All things being equal (break in and care) what is the best buy?

If its one of those things that "you get what you pay for", then I totally understand.

Thanks for the help guys

You can stick with the name brands for a sure bet or bargain hunt till you hit the Korean imports. By the way, my wife's cart has them

but the biggest difference maker I see in all the batteries is proper USE & CARE.
For performance I go with the biggest amperage storage capacity. I like Crown Batteries but I am hearing they are expensive in some parts?

I personally like Interstate. I have always had good service and performance from them. In the past 5 years of tracking batteries I have had a total of 3 (out of literally thousands sold) returned defective that were truely defective and not abuse related issues.

First off, I totally agree with use and care for ANY battery you decide on. I went with US BATTERY after a lot of reading and research. I know I made a good choice....but back to the use and care and basics....just about any battery will depend on YOU for the long term. I also found that with my research too...
