Engine Starting Battery
I need to replace my lead acid engine starting battery. Just looking for recommendations on what your choice is for a new lead acid battery. Any advice would be appreciated.

Well Sam's has good prices on batteries if you are already a member. COSTCO is #2 on the list with the same caravat. Since I'm not a member I went with DEKA
Sams sell Duracell lead acid batteries which are made by East Penn/DEKA.
COSTCO sells Interstate Batteries which come from one of the major US lead acid battery companies (there are only a hand full).

In general, buy the most expensive name brand nationally available battery you can afford that has the longest unconditional 100% free replacement warranty. Pay less attention to the pro rated portion of the battery warranty, but, it is important.
Good advice, but the batteries sold at Sams and Costco pretty much match or beat all major brands.
