> What are people's opinion on the OEM Autobahn batteries?

I bought a white Autobahn battery years ago.  It was made in Canada.  I'd
say the only good thing is it looks like original but you have to pay a lot
more.   It lasted about 3 years which is pretty average life cycle in
hot/cold Dallas.  I don't think you can find white Autobahn battery
anymore.   Those black one is make by some US battery manufactures which I
don't think it worth the money (~$100).

Just bought a Champion International group 41 white battery at Sam
Warehouse for $39.95 and now they offer a $10 rebate.  Their warranty is
better than before now with 2-year replacement and 72-month pro-rated.  No
complaint on a $29.95 battery which looks like an original white battery
and no acid leak like the Diehard.   The last thing I want is the acid leak
on my Vanagon which has already suffered a head leak.
