Nah, it makes me think of my old woman who has a great degree of control in that aspect of my life.

We sunk an airboat in about 45 foot of wintertime florida spring water about 6 years ago. That boat had a 3 year old interstate "nascar" battery in it. When the boat went down all the running lights and hella's were on and it stayed underwater for 18 hours. When we finally got the boat back up and dried out, we charged the battery, and used up until about 5 months ago. That sold me on interstate batteries.
I will never buy another battery made by Johnson Controls. They make the Walmart specials which are the worst battery you could ever buy. They are great if you run your vehicle everyday, just don't let them sit for any length of time. Interstate is a good battery.
I happen to like Deka batteries. That's what my local father-and-son auto electric shop sells, and they really know their stuff. I don't think too much of Interstate, although I used to.
Heard a lot of good things about Optima as well.
