I also buy on specs, price, and warranty. I have not had any trouble with any
of the batteries I have bought for my cars for many years, have had to replace
many batteries that came with the vehicles I acquired. The battery in my
Maxima lasted over 13 years. It came with the car, but I don't remember the
brand. Recent battery purchases have come from Walmart, Advance Auto,
O'Reilly's, and Sears. I usually buy what gives the best cold cranking amps
for the price. I try to keep my hobby car batteries juiced up in the winter,
seems to help lifespan quite a bit.
