    Default Okay, I forget...what's the best battery to buy???

    I have an 5 year Interstate battery in my car now, but I purchased it 6 years ago and it failed to start my car this afternoon. So, I'm going to replace it this weekend. I'm fairly certain that Interstate batteries are supposed to be good batteries for the money, but if there's something better, and hopefully cheaper, I'd appreciate knowing about it.

    Grace and peace,

    Robert K

    Can you use those batteries for city driving?

    Your local Autozone will have the correct vented battery for $60, well they did a couple years ago..=) Sorry Robert, but I can't remember the group #....I believe it's 49? Interstate is also an excellent replacement, you certainly got your moneys worth out of that one!
    Hope this helps,

    Those Nikasil V-8s use a different battery in the city vs. hwy. Make sure you get the right one.
