$90 battery--ripped off? 200 1989

Batteries are like wine, women, song -- and tires, gas, and beer.

Opinions, experiences, preferences, loyalities, and stories are all over the map.

I've bought two Interstate batteries in my life and both let me down badly, even though everybody raves how good Interstate is.

OTOH, I've bought Diehards for my various Volvos (and daughter's VW) for many years. And even though others rave about how crummy Diehards are, I've never had one let me down. I have three now that are over 5 years old. The Diehard (group 46) in my '86 245 was purchased in the spring of '96 and now has around 90k miles on it. It still cranks like new and did so during the bitter cold last winter.

I check my batteries at every oil change and top up using ordinary distilled water (59 cents per gallon at the supermarket).
