I can tell you for years the best batteries I ever bought were Interstate, hands down.

I put a new Interstate in my Crossfire a few years ago before I had any trouble with the old one. The first year of 'winter' with the new battery, I had no trouble with the car starting after sitting sometimes for a month or more. This winter I had to charge the battery twice to get it started. I really wrote it off as the Ultragauge hooked up. Once I disconnected the Ultragauge, I never had to charge the battery, but it did crank slower than it would normally.

And then another forum member was over last week and he was telling me the same thing with his SRT. Never had to jump start with the OEM, but had to jump twice with the Interstate after the car sat for extended period.

I am starting to have second thoughts on the Interstate brand that fits our cars.
