I had trouble with a pair. Had a hard time getting warranty. Decided I wasn’t going to spend top dollar on batteries anymore so been buying cheapest I can. I got rural king batteries in it now so far so good. Third year on this set. Getting hard to start so I took them in on warranty. They said they were good. I had suspicions so I took to a battery shop to verify and they said they are still good. I think my starter is dragging now.

I went through 2 interstate batteries in my wife's van that had short lives. Replaced with a Walmart.
I had a WalMart battery in my daily driver F150 it lasted 7 years.
Until proven otherwise WalMart is where I go now.
Obviously the van and the 376k mile F150 dont require the same cranking power as a diesel.
