Truck battery versus house battery but my experience can apply. I ignored the wisdom of this forum 5 years ago when truck batteries needed replacing. Several on here warned Interstate quality had diminished. Went with them anyway. 4 years and 3 months later they are shot. Went back to the dealer who sold them to me for pro-rate. He no longer carries them once discovering what the forum had already told me. Pro rate was only going to be 25%. Not worth it for a sub par replacement. Based on his recommendation and on line reviews went with NAPA batteries. This is one time brand loyalty got me in trouble.
