At this point, I'd be comfortable walking into just about any store that sold batteries, buying the proper spec'd battery with whatever instore warranty they offer, can calling it a day. The majority are all made by Johnson Controls and I think 99% are made by either JC orExide. Overall, I don't feel batteries are quite as good as they used to be, but our cars certainly demand more out of them nowadays as well, so I dunno. Feels like they don't quite go as long as they used to. -But I've been buying Advance Auto's house brand "Gold" battery for all my cars, on the advice of a friend, for many many years now and I can't recall ever having a problem.
I love brand names, -and buying the latest and greatest. But I've come to feel through experience that batteries just aren't one of the places in my life where spending more makes a difference.
