Interstate seems to be the most well liked aftermarket.

However, my original batter is just shy of 11 years old,
and still starts the car EVERY SINGLE MORNING even after
being parked outside at 5 degrees all night.

Why save a few $ to get an unknown battery. The OEM one
is $110 at the dealer. That's $10/year. Cheap, considering
what some other people go through to find decent batteries.

Just my $0.02
