I'm on my second WM set in 16 years.

I will recommend Autozone Duralast Gold Batteries. I know from experience that they will replace anywhere in the US. I bought an Autozone Durlast Gold in Ridgecrest Ca. I had problems with it in Yuma. They replaced it no questions asked in Yuma.AZ. The battery was still under the full replacement part of the warranty before they pro-rate the cost.

Honestly doesn't make a lot of difference. Buying from a large chain store could be handy if you have an issue while traveling but really for a $60-80 battery, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Unless you abuse it, you should get several years out of a new battery.

Six of one, half dozen of the other.

Not so. I learned hard way that NAPA is having their regional sellers.
I bought their alternator when far away from home and when it failed, I had to go 150 miles to the place that belongs to the selling region.

Yep ! My buddy check the spec on the Interstate Batteries at Costco and they were as good as every one else, plus they were about $20 cheaper. Great when you are buying 2 for a diesel.

Costco.
For cars - PepBoys have 96 months warranty on Bosch batteries.
Also before you dump old battery - consider buying new technology tester sold under Solar.
