assure me that they've changed suppliers...we'll see. Unless your Odyssey uses a weird battery, the best price I can find around here (OH) is Wal-Mart! Better prices and warranty than AutoZone or Advance....

I got 10 years out of the DEKA in my 1969 1600. I have also had Interstate batteries last 6 years+.

Douglas batteries are overpriced junk. Most discount chain batteries are not as robust as Interstate and DEKA.

I had a battery out of a used car that had been sitting for two

years. The guy gave me a new one for free. Still works good after

a year. He also gave me a new starter for free. Maybe it was his

last week or something. Here's to being lucky. Party On

Sears is good from the ease of warranty angle -- plenty of stores everywhere so no problems getting service.

But, I've been real happy with the batteries from Costco.

They are actually Exide, IIRC. The price is great & the products are high quality with great CCA ratings & warranty. I've been switching over from Sears Diehards to these, as the need arises on the different vehicles at home.

Whatever you buy, get the "freshest" date code possible. This is typically a sticker with the Month indicated by a Letter (January 03 = A3, etc.) You do not want a battery that has sat around for months unused. Not good for battery life or getting the full warranty months due (they would default to the date code if you can't show the receipt.)

the same facility even motorcycle ones, is now very expensive and hard to get the permits needed. The only real difference is the specs requested by the distributor that wants to put his label on. No I dont recall who makes them I was told this by a big motorcycle distributor.

great return policy, great/best prices Kirkland(house brand)is same thing as 90 % of the other conventional cell batteries out there. As others have stated, only a couple companies make batteries, distribution end seller companies then put on their own labels to make you think they are different and better. You only get real differences when you go into gel cell, and exotic aircraft /racing batteries that are completely dry and dont care how they are mounted. as far as pricing, I paid 130 bucks for an Optima red down the street last year - i was in a fix and a hurry and i needed it immediately. At Costco, the exact same optima red( they come in different sizes) is 100 bucks. That is 30 percent savings. I think that savings rate translates to the other batteries they have in stock. Good luck.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
