Battery Choices

MCL968 · 2022-05-10T11:42:48-05:00

When I purchased my 968 almost 10 years ago, it had a near new Interstate battery. It was great, it lasted over 4 years and I replaced it with a battery from Batteries Plus, from their Duracell line. That one lasted 2.5 years, and was replaced for free under warranty. The replacement lasted 2 years, and they just replaced it, again under warranty. These batteries seem to be of lesser quality than the Interstate that I had originally. I read that most batteries are produced by Johnson, and if that is the case, are they all destined to last only a few years? While I appreciate that I have received three new batteries and only paid for one, I would like to have a little more faith in the battery's ability, regardless of the maker. Anyone out there have the same issues or a solution? I drive the car regularly, so it gets used. I have a tender that I can use to keep it charged, but that has never been an issue since it gets out regularly (weather permitting). Thanks, Matt
