Costco interstate batteries. Can't beat them here in Phoenix Arizona. 3 year warranty and they crap out in two and Costco gives a new one every two years. Ask me how I know. Eight years and have had four new batteries. So I guess I have to keep the car forever!!

When I worked at a service station in the early 70's, the batteries we sold came in a box. When we sold a battery we had to take the battery out of the box, remove the cell caps, take the plastic lined box of battery acid out of the battery box and use it to fill the cells of the battery, then attach a battery charger and charge the battery for a minimum of 30 minutes, fill the cells back up to the full line, put the caps back on the cells, then install the battery.

Every battery we sold was brand new and fresh.

I always use Interstate batteries and never had any issues.

The battery in my spare car has the stupidest story behind it...

I was almost home one day and I saw a battery (Honda civic size, my car) laying on the side of the road. I laughed thinking someone's battery fell out of their car.... I went back and checked it out and it was a brand new AAA battery with the plastic cap on the positive terminal (absolutely brand new) It had a small hole in the case from hitting the pavement so I closed it with RTV sealant and added a few oz of water. It's been 6 years and I still have that battery, but I let it die and freeze last winter when my car was covered in snow.

Hey Scotty, I just replaced my Interstate battery and bought another one, the old one lasted more than 6 1/2 years! Both Interstate batteries came from COSTCO. I'm very satisfied with Interstate batteries and feel I got my money's worth out of the first one. The new battery is dated 9/22, I can only hope to get the same life span out of this second one.

I have an interstate battery on my rav4 says 2017 on it, still works great..

Hey Scotty.
I have driven in Autobahn in Germany (it has been about 10 years ago).
they have speed limits close to a city. no speed limits on certain sections.

When I had my Auto repair shop (in El Monte Ca) I sold many Interstate batteries, I very seldom had problems with them. Interstate always replaced them.

I stopped buying batteries from Autozone after the insane markup. I got an interstate from Costco and made sure it was fresh, no problems and same 3 year warranty.

When I worked at a Honda/Subaru/Isuzu dealer in the 1980s we had original equipment Japanese batteries in dry storage. When a customer needed a battery we simply added the required amount of acid put a quick charge on it and ZIPPADIDOODA! it was ready to go! That’s how to store batteries!

[timbrown]

Scotty I remember back when you added the acid to the batt before you sold it, remember that?

[degzs]

autobahn just means high-way and all parts of german highways have some places where the signs are marked with a line through the speed limit indicating a no limit zone

Word of advice, about the oil consumption. If the vehicle is even 10 years old with fare mileage and consuming oil, first check the spark plugs. Spark plugs might work good enough for not triggering the MIL for misfire, still bad. What happens is when not enough detonation, part of gasoline runs down to oil pan. 1. Your oil now diluted with gas. 2. It stays on the cylinder walls which not allowing oil to stick on wallsand creates the gap between the walls and oil rings, which throws then oil into the burning chamber. I know that this is a fact. Been there and done that. Changing spark plugs fixed the problem. Of course if the spark plugs are ok, then it's a oil rings or/and valve guide seals

I just now replaced an Interstate battery in my 2001 Subaru. That battery lasted WAY longer than it should have. Years longer

[justinpass]

There is a company in Miami that drives allover Florida that replaces Prius batteries with rebuilt ones with a 10 year warranty for less than $500. The rebuilt battery bank usually last about 7 years which means it can constantly get replaced under warranty.

[TheSiriusEnigma]

6:26 my understanding is that the autobahn does have a lane with no speed limits. No the whole thing. Also, the entire thing is built like an air strip. It is built to by used by aircrafts. (Flat, limited curves, no overhanging wires or stuff, concrete base, etc.)

I have been buying interstate batteries for almost 30 years. I only buy from a interstate battery distributor never the local shop. Whether its a flooded battery or an agm they last between 8-10 years. Now, vehicles made in the last 10 years, no battery will last that long. In my two new vehicles interstate batteries last 3-5 and that is way better than most.

[dannysdailys]

My shop used to handle Interstate batteries and swore by them. Today they don't stock any batteries and I always go factory. But, Exide is by far the worst. When an Exide goes bad, you'll remember when you put it in.

[markjou]

Just FYI my last Interstate battery lasted me 10 years in my daily driver. Never let me down. I only replaced it when it started to sound weak when cranking my car.
