Over the years I've had Motorcraft, Wally mart special twice, and one Interstate - which lasted the longest of all of them. Motorcraft, the original lasted 12 months, Wally world ones lasted 12 to 14 months, Interstates last about 3 years. Tour #2 had 3 batteries over the years. One was a Sears (Exide) which lasted 8 months and had to be replaced under warranty. Sears switched back to JC which lasted longer. Heat here destroys batteries faster that when I lived in the GWN!
