A point you may wish to consider is the warranty. And the attitude of the counter help. I would ask "What happens if I think a battery has gone bad?"
For what it is worth. NAPA Batteries have a nationwide warrant, good at any NAPA Store. Most NAPA stores also have the ability to load test and know how to use a hydrometer.
I would keep my receipt as sometimes the label om the battery are hard to read and the receipt makes it very clear when it was purchased.
Happy Camping. - BFL13Explorer III have a two -year old pair of the 226AH ones (GC135 is one of their names :) ) Doing very well. I keep them banked with a pair of Interstate GC2 XHDs (232AH) as my four 6s. (Also doing well)
- 8146 looks good to me.

Ask the NAPA store who manufactured them. That's easier and more accurate. NAPA has a variety of vendors. Any other answer would be guesswork.
