Terry,
I've had good luck with Deka wet batteries. Typically get at least 5 years out of them. Bought 'em from a local electrical shop I've been dealing with for about 30 years, were the owner is a real mechanic who will overhaul an alternator or starter instead of just swapping parts! Had good luck with an Optima AGM, but he quit carrying them because they didn't hold up. Switched back to a wet battery because it's not a good idea to mix types (charging requirements are different!). I used Sears Die Hard for a few years until I concluded it was just a battery rental program . . . none of them lasted more than 2 years but the warranty allowance was enough that it was slightly cheaper to buy another one than buy a REAL battery! Finally got tired of the hassle and bought a real battery! Denny
