There are only a few battery manufacturers. They make them for all the different retailers & slap their label on them. Sometimes the middle of the line are better then the real expensive ones. They may have very high CCA ratings but they don't have the staying power. Ive never used Optima but every one Ive seen have been junk. I've seen some Interstate batteries last for many years.
