Question Need battery recommendations

I'm probably on the verge of needing a new battery and would like opinions on what everyone uses. My local options are the O'Reilly store brand, Carquest store brand, Interstate, and Motorcraft.

I would stick with the Motocraft brand.
They are rated #1 by Consumer Reports.

Go to http://www.jci.com You will find that all the above Batteries are made by Johnson Controls, don't pay big bucks for the name on the side of the batteries. I got my best price from Wally's. PS Johnson Controls makes the best!

From the choise that you have listed, I would go with the Motorcraft. If you have extra money I would go with Optima

I guess "Mr" Priddyboy stuck his head up his *** rather than checking out the site I posted. If he had or read my message he would have realized Johnson Controls makes most of the Vehicle Batteries, including The Battery he mentioned. Here is a more direct route to the battery selection http://www.autobatteries.com Website by Johnson Controls.
