- I love Interstate. Used them for 30 years.
- Got my house batteries from Costco last time. 4 Golf cart batteries, that was in 2013. going to change them again before the next long trip just to be safe.
- Got mine from Sam's Club $99 each
- When I was in Corpus Christi last October I went to the local Freightliner dealer and they had a sale on batteries 950 CCS, $69 a piece...this was for my Cummins ISL 400...call around!
- Use petroleum jelly on the terminals to avoid a lot of corrosion issues. (Once everything is connected of course)
- This thread over on iRV2.com has some useful info: DP Chassis Battery(s) - How long do they last?

they are about $130
7yr prorate warranty, 3yr free exchange warranty
they spin this Cumins 5.9 real well - Used Batteries Plus. 99.99 each with 10% off if you order online and then pick them up at the store.

- I use AGMs for house batteries but engine batteries are not bad about causing corrosion. I replaced my Interstate batteries at 10 years... not because only one would still start my ISL but I was in OR so no sales tax and they let me keep my old ones. I'm still using one of them at 13 years. Cost/year should be considered.
