In my opinion, the best batteries are ether Exide or Interstate. The
best deal is the Wal-Mart special for ~$40, (Champion) These batteries
do tend to fail if abused, but you can't beat the price.

Subject: Best replacement battery for my Westy?

The battery in my Westy has hit the skids.  What is the best replacement
battery with the most oomph?  I want a battery that will be good at
running
the extras when the motor is off.  The battery that died is a Autobahn.

thanks,
