Wal-Mart Everstart Maxx 65N, 850cca and 1000ca, $59.00 each, 3yr free replacement, 9yr prorated warranty. I've had them in since about Jan/Feb 05 with no problems. And, them dang Wal-Marts are around every corner.
And according this to http://www.jci.com/annualreports/2000/pg10.htm they're made by Johnson Controls.

from what I have seen the red tops aren't lasting very long. Optimas working in tandem seem to have relationship issues.

I was told from a distributer that there are only 3 battery manufactures in the world.
I went to my local Ford dealer and got 2 new 850cca Motorcrafts installed for 131.86.I just have a problem with the 6.00hr boys at wal mart doing anything to my vehicles and the Dealer price was 5 bucks more.They have a 36 month free replacement and 72 month pro rated warranty. Besides that they had a picture of a RED Superduty like mine on them,, and that has to net some serious cool points when you have a picture of your truck on your batteries.!!

Here is a link to battery manufactures I found with a quick web search

A good friends son works at the tire and lube express near me and you wouldnt believe the stories he tells of things that happen there. I agree everyone has to learn somehow,just not at my expense.Not all dealers are the same obviously, I just happen to have a great dealer and they have very competitive prices. Wally World is the only other big game in town so i guess they have to compete.
