Time for batteries

I did a search but so much stuff comes up with the batteries. I know its been discussed plenty of times so sorry for bringing it up again but just wondering what you guys think.
My batteries are getting weak and its getting harder to start in the cold.
I really don't use my truck during the week, so it sits alot and only average 5k per year. Any batteries you guys highly recommend?

We sell deka at work and I like them really well. That's what has been both my trucks and a buddies. No cranking problems as of yet. Batteries in the old are about 3 yrs old and going strong

I Just Bought the Same Batteries for my IDI Diesel. I like them so far with no Problems.. From weak Batteries to these Maxx Batt. is a big Difference.. Man thing is they are affordable... Just take them back in 2.75 Years and get some new ones...LOL

Johnson controls makes something like 75% of automotive batteries so its basically the same batteries in different wrappers and prices. I like wally world for mine also high cca cheap and if they fail there's plenty of wal marts around
