Default batteries

does anyone here use other than HD batteries? The battery plus store has a Duracell HD battery that's a little cheaper and has double the warrantee.

I have the Dura Cell battery from Batteries Plus. There is a Chinese made one and American made one. I have the American one and am happy with it.

There are many brands who make suitable alternative batteries to the stock ones. I suggest you buy an AGM type and confirm that the CCA rating is at least as good as your current one.
