[Healeys] Batteries

[Bob Spidell]

I'm not impressed with Interstate any more, either.  I think the best 
lead-acid battery available now is by Deka.  I believe they are American 
made (for now).  I've had one in my Mustang--that used to eat 
Interstates--for several years and it's still going strong.  Two years 
is about all I'd get from Interstates in the 'Stang.

I got nervous about quality--before I remembered Deka--and put an AGM in 
my BJ8.  Expensive as hell--about $300--but I'm hoping it's the last I 
buy for that car.
