Doesn't matter what kind of battery you buy. In my case, any brand usually lasts 3 years. Interstate, Wal-Mart, DEKA you name it. Most are made by Johnson Controls (check their website) Some claim 9 years....not me. Simply can't do it. 3 years it is. If that is you...go for the (cheaper) bucks.
That's what I always thought, but after all my Walmart battery failures, I am done with them. Walmart did OK with the warranty, but after the repeated damage to my vehicles, I am done. Long, long story. Their buyers beat on the suppliers for every nickel they can get, and I suspect the batteries are produced "special" for Walmart.
