    Been using Interstate for 15-20 years. Change them every 3yrs regardless of whether they need it or not. Batteries on a boat aren’t something you take chances on especially if you’re going offshore. Just a cost of having a boat IMO.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Interstate. Probably have close to 100 batteries in all the various vehicles and equipment we have. Tried them all. Like those the best.

    There is an interstate place on Shop road that has discount batteries most of the time.

    Some things as simple as misprinted logos can get you a new battery for 40% off.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    Costco usally has a really good price on Interstate. Just put a new one in one of our vehicles for $50 cheaper than I could find it anywhere else.

    Interstate "blems" Most are $60 or so and get the job done for years

    I will recommend to stay away from the batteries at acadamy I cant remember the name.brand but it didnt last a year. I bought an Optima with the blue top I've had it over 2 years and havemt charged it but twice and that's bc I wanted to bc I was going on a trip to santee with alot of radio playing.

    I don't think you can go wrong with any brand. Pretty sure last time a post came up like this I was bragging about how much I like my interstates. Well a month later one went bad just over a year old. I replaced both battery's with Advanced auto brand we will see how long these last.
