I use to run a boat for a living and had bad luck with interstate and procraft,could not get more than a year out of them swithed to walmart brand if the battery failed with in 2 years they would hand a brand new one. Just a few weeks ago I needed to replace the factory batteries Walmart was all out and I needed them. Couldn't see paying $250 each for Optima so I bought 1000 crank amp Duralast at Autozone for a $100 each with 3year replacement and 4 year prorate after that. Had a perfect fit.

$250 each!!!!! 
That's way too much, I've never seen them that expensive.
Shop around, I picked up both of mine at Sams Club for a total of $315. That doesn't include getting core for the old batts either.

+ 1 They even hold up in severe use like winching, and starting my truck not plugged in at -35.
In my quads the only batteries that seem to last more than 1 year of the beating I give is Interstate as well.
