I've always had good luck with the DieHard Marine Batteries sold by Sears.
Good warranty.
Don't waste your money at Sears, period.
Their Diehards are NOT what they used to be AND they are considerably more expensive than Walmart or Sams club.
Example, DWs truck went through TWO Diehards within one year, the warranty is "prorated" for three years got about 1/2 "back" on the first battery (I had to pay 1/2 the price for the replacement). The replacement battery warranty is only good till the end of the ORIGINAL battery warranty.
The replacement died a quick death, lasting only 5 months..
So, the first battery cost $150, the replacement battery cost me $75 for a total of $225!
Sams battery in the same size cost me $85 and so far going on three years!
Ran into the same problem with a odd sized battery for a diesel tractor.. Solved the same way, buying one from Sams club..
