I agree with the walmart (or better yet...sam's club) recommendation. I've had to maintain 5 different volvo's since 1993, and no matter what battery....volvo original, diehard, napa.....all were dead after 5 years. We aren't talking about important engine parts or brakes here. All batteries give a little warning before they die. Just listen for the slow crank and then replace it....for $39.95 at walmart or sam's. If you are buying for the quarantee, it's 2 year complete replacement and 72 month proration at walmart or sam's. I don't mind paying a little more for something special, but just haven't seen any evidence of anything special. Now I've bought two at walmart...when I took in my exchange on the last one, I took my volvo battery to the customer service counter and put the battery in the shopping cart full of car batteries. I placed my volvo battery right on top of the last one somebody brought in for the core credit...it was a volvo battery. True...but a good laugh too.
