RE: Batteries

a leading consumer magazine a few years back rated Interstate the number 1 
battery...I personally have had no problems with Delco (Flame on!!) in other 
vehicles but have yet to use one in an Audi..

Audi fans:

The battery on my '90V8Q decided to go south this weekend.  It was very
sudden.  One minute the cars started OK, then it just made the starter
solenoid clatter.  Jumping the car, I was able to start it.  Prestige
Imports gave me a price of $165 for the OEM battery.  The Interstate
Mega-tron is only $99 and I have used them for years with good luck. 
Question: Do the stock batteries die like that and does anyone else have
experience with Interstate?

TIA.
