    Measure all 3 dimensions before you buy a battery. They're NOT standardized like you would think. I don't buy them online because nobody online cares if you get the right size or not.

    OP here: Just replaced the Interstate 27F battery that served me for just shy of 7 years. Needed new alternator and the battery was getting weak so got a fresh AC Delco one.

    Batteries are the luck of the draw.

    I have had good luck with Diehard both in vehicles and deep cells in boats.

    I always used the advance auto parts batteries (AutoCraft I think?). Worked well in my Volvo, got them in my boat, my Tacoma and my wife’s Highlander. Order them online with a coupon code and get them for about $100. Only a 2 year warranty but they’ve always been good for me.

    OME and worth every penny.
    I buy Walmart because, 24/7, every city has one even though my truck is always parked in the driveway when it dies.
