Battery Brands
Choose wisely. A few extra dollars up front can be a lot cheaper in the long run. The top 2 are the best batteries for the money. ~$120 (in 2020, during sales) with an 8-year warranty, the first 3 of which are free-replacement. The Optima doesn't come close to that, or the CCA or reserve capacity, and costs MUCH more. MotorCraft & Interstate are made by Johnson Controls, just like Optima, but they're from the same line as Sears DieHard Gold and a few other high-quality batteries. DuraLast & EverStart are bottom-end JC batteries.
