Comment:
This is just the battery I was looking for since my car is always parked outside in a central New England area.As the battery is in the engine compartment when it can get hot (rather than the rear seat, I wanted a sealed battery. It has a high initial rating.My biggest issue is that it is sold by [@] as they charged $20 just to undo two cables, check the new battery and put the cables on it. Although they advertised a $12 charge, the actual fee was $20. I should have tried to do it myself.

Comment:
Bought battery and after a month it burned out my alternator....took it back to Sears and they tested battery. Battery was producing way to many amps, so it burned out my alternator on my F-150. Cost me $150.00 to replace. They gave me a new battery. After a year I have had to have the truck jumped on 3 occasions. Went to Sears and they said they would have to test battery, but that would cost me $20.00. Had enough....time to go with Interstate!
How long have you owned it:

Purchased in 2008. After a year, had to replace due to a bad cell. Was replaced free under warranty. Replacement went bad. Went to [@] for a replacement and they said the warranty goes back to the original purchase, so I would have to pay 50% for a new battery. For [$], I wish the batteries would last to their promised life span.
