optima's are too expensive... interstate or gm goodwrench are just as reliable and are 1/2 the price

Same with the diehard and like I said before, it has an 8yr warranty on it. Not to mention its the most powerful of all available batteries, something like 900 or 1000 CCA (dependent on group size of course).

Interstate. It was in the car when I bought it.
Usually I just buy batteries at Walmart.
