Have had good luck with diehard and interstate batteries. Just changed out oem Motorcraft in my 2013 a few weeks ago. That's 9 years on original battery . Guess I got my money's worth on that one .  Shame I will be sending a new diehard and year old duller revos  as well as new brakes  down the road when my new truck gets here.

One trick with getting an Interstate battery cheap is the Interstate distributor always has blems for sale at a hefty discount.  These function fine and the only flaw is cosmetic

There’s three manufacturer’s of car batteries ,all those different brands are just reskinned from the big three . Look for cca, reserve capacity , etc .

Also theres a shipping code on them , look it up, you don’t want a battery that’s already 6 months or a year old .

Johnson Controls is one of the big three battery makers. They make Diehard as well as Walmart batteries. I’ve always had good luck with Walmart batteries and the price is pretty good. In my old Dodge 2500, I had a set last 8 years.
