Who Makes Interstate Batteries: Are they any Good?

Who Makes Interstate Batteries. In this video I am going to explain who makes the Interstate batteries that are a popular choice for automotive and marine applications. Interstate Batteries is actually one of the largest manufacturers, distributors, and recyclers of lead acid and lithium batteries.

The company was originally founded in 1952 by John Searcy in Dallas, Texas as a car battery rebuilder and wholesaler under the name Interstate Auto Parts. Over the next few decades, Interstate focused heavily on branded battery distribution and retail stores, eventually becoming one of the most trusted names in aftermarket batteries.

I ran a garage and sold interstate batteries however they only lasted 3 years I've found walmart batteries last longer and are reasonably priced.

I buy Interstate for my personal vehicles. A company I used to work for always bought Motorcraft batteries, they seemed to work well also.

My 10 year, 3 month old Interstate is starting to die! Never had a battery (24F) last this long, amazing!

I am satisfied with Bosch batteries. We dont have Interstate here in Norway.

because they are heavy, it's better to make them at multiple locations and not ship them a long way.

Just replaced 7 year old Interstate in my F150 (still working)...with another one (my mechanic uses them in his vehicles!). The MegaZone etc batteries never even lasted 3 yrs.

I've run Interstate for 40 years! Not anymore! They've lost their quality! Nothing but junk anymore! No Interstate for sale in my shop! And the big sign is no longer hanging outside!

Now some Interstate batteries sold at Costco are "Made in China". Have to wait and see how they perform and last.
