I absolutely love interstate batteries. My demo derby car had an interstate on it when I got it, and the batt had been sitting the sun and other elements so long the green top is now white, but after putting it on a charger for all night, it held a charge and was able to turn over a motor so hot it ultimately set fire to the oil that was dripping out of the valve covers.

For what it is worth...
all the batteries are make by Johnson controls (interstate, costco, walmart, autozone, autolite, duralast, etc.)

That's funny. Why do some batteries seem to out last other brands? We are so brand loyal and never stop to think that there might be a common supplier.

Douglas, EverStart, Exide, etc.
Every battery has the manufacturer's code number on the battery and is the only sure way of identifying the manufacturer. MSDS can provide info.
Also, every private label has different specs than the others, even when they are from the same manufacturer.

That is a good question. Since all batteries can fail though, I look for the battery with the best warantee.

I think you're right. I think EverStart is Wal-Mart's own private label battery? I don't recall now. Way toooo many private labels! But Exide is its own company, correct.
