What kind of battery do you prefer?<br />Both car and boat?<br /><br />And has anyone used Bilstein shocks?<br />They seem to be the 'weapon of choice', but the price tag is OUCH! ($252 to my door)<br /><br />H.
After trying a lot of different brands over the years, I now pretty much stick with Sears for batteries. I don't know who makes them for Sears, but I have been satisfied with their perfomance.
Djohns is correct. The Sears Diehard is made by Johnson Controls. They make excellent batteries. Check with the retailer who is selling batteries at a reasonable price. Ask them who made the battery. Most of them will tell you.
I was wondering if there was only a few places who made batteries!<br /><br />Kinda like car lifters. I'm told there are only a few places who make them too.<br /><br />I stick to DieHards as well. I run a deep cycle trolling for the boat accessories and a regualr DieHard for startup.<br /><br />I recently stuffed a trickle charger on them for the winter months. Seems to work well so far.<br /><br />H.
