Wow!
Got a lot of great replies ... appreciate them all. Needed to replace
quickly, so went with one from the local parts house that's been good
to me; "Advantage" brand. Considered the Optima, but @ $129 I could
get two "standard" batteries for the price of one! Judging by the warranty
they (Optima) don't last any longer than conventional wet cell. Would've like
to have gotten an Interstate, but would have had to hunt around a little (none
of the local outfits that I usually deal with have that brand).
Only thing I don't like about the avantage is it's "Maintenance Free." I feel
better when I can see the acid level myself ... may pop the top anyway.
