I've had good luck in Montana with the Champion batteries that Sam's Club
sells. About 1/3rd the price of an Interstat or Optimum and last 3-4 years.

Do you live in a place where it gets really cold? IME when living in FL
battery replacements were very rare, even the crappiest el cheapo brands
lasted forever. Now living in NC I find that you need a good quality battery
if you expect any sort of long life out of it. I'm not certain what quality
Sears are these days.
