What brand of battery do you have in your car/truck right now?

This is a multiple choice poll so choose more than one if needed.

Always looking for poll ideas post them HERE or send me a PM.......
 
I have an assortment...

VW new Wall-mart battery
Truck has Interstates
Tahoe has Duralast golds
Grand Prix has Die hard
Motorcycles have OEM HD's

I have had good experiences & bad with all of em...just depends how ya treat em.
 
I used Napa NascaR Selects for a while and had a bunch of bad batteries. Also Napa is store specific with their warranties.

Now I use Walmart, Autozone or Sears. Some nationwide chain with a nationwide warranty.

I almost always use Dual post batteries. Unless I'm in a bind and none are vailable.
 
I have DURALAST in my BURB, but I am less than thrilled with them. The wifes car has a CARQUEST battery(DEKA) in it, and it seems to be a much stronger battery.
 
Interstate Megatrons less than 2 mo old in the truck to replace the (suddenly) dead OEM.
Tahoe has a 1 week old Interstate Megatron that replaced the (again - suddenly) dead OEM.
The tire and battery shop I trade at is about 1/2 mile as the crow flies from the farm. Very convenient.

The truck has one from TSC(no idea who makes them) still surviving after 8 years of hard use. The van(wife's) has a Canadian tire brand one. can't complain at the CT one, it's got a 10yr warranty free replacement.
 
Got a set of Interstates in the barn floor out of my 95 (used 1 week), duralast golds in the 93, and unlabeled blemish batts in the 06.
 
1998 K2500 - 2 DieHard Truck/Van/SUV batteries
1979 K15 - junk yard ACDelco
1998 Tahoe - Interstate
1974 Firebird - Diehard

Dad's
2004 Yukon XL 2500 - ACDelco from my diesel
1995 K1500 'Burb - ACDelco from my diesel
2004 Honda - Advance Auto (whatever that is) stole from my K15

I used to swear by a DieHard, but now IDK. Besides, If I leave a battery at home while I'm away it might get "borrowed" so I just get the most CCA for the least now.
 
I have two Interstate Megatrons (not a evil Decepticon) that are 12 years old and still will crank my 6.2. They have been serving in two different cars since the truck is off the road. Tired yes but still serviceable.
 
Kirkland (Costco brand) in both trucks. Two in the GMC, one in the Dakota. Made for Costco by Johnson Controls, same company that makes a lot of the big name batteries already in the poll.

The one in the Dakota is about 6 years old now, still going strong. The two in the GMC are two years old (replaced as a pair).
 
OEM AC Delco's in the 05 and the '11 Burb, Year-old Optima in my Bonne, newer NAPA in the 67 C20. All working just fine.
