Don't let Mr T. discourage you from what you want to do, ultimately what you do for a battery is your decision, (some) of us have an agenda of just being a Troll. The more you feed, the more crap you get. I couldn't believe that a map was actually put up for you....that got me. Anyway, you are smart enough to get a product that will suit your needs. Best of Luck and have a Happy Thanksgiving !

The map was posted for your information! Your the one that posed this:

There are 6 in Mass., but I have no idea how close Mansfield is to any of them

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Also, I did a search, over 50 Interstate dealers including 1 official Interstate Store in a 25 mile radius.

Just got the AGM Super Start from Oreilly's. $160 out the door wasn't too bad for a decent battery i thought. Thanks for those that recommended it.

i put a Yellowtop in my truck just a few months shy of 5 years ago and i've absolutely loved the performance i've gotten out of it.

i have a pretty complex audio system and the battery NEVER let me down once.

about a week ago, i was playing some music for about 20 minutes while vacuuming out the truck and it was about 25 degrees out and i went to start it and the battery was too run down to start it.

the same thing happened last night only i played the system for about 10 minutes, so i guess it's time for another battery.

i was wondering, is almost 5 years acceptable out of a battery after being continuously pounded day after day, or should it have lasted longer?

i was thinking about getting another one today but i thought i'd come here ask you guys first.

thanks.
