Most batteries, regardless of brand, come from one of a handful of 
companies -- Johnson, Exide, East Penn/Deka, Yaesu, etc. Frequently, 
the only difference is the name and the warranty. So you might as 
well shop for the specs you need and not worry about the rest. 
Living in the Frozen North and driving a diesel, I want the biggest 
battery I can stuff into its little compartment. Found an East Penn 
(a company I'd never heard of before I researched) that should be 
good for another 4 or 5 years.

OB Oly: Said battery will be starting the car that takes me on a 
long-weekend road trip to western Missouri this weekend. The weather 
here is TOPE-28-ready; I'm hoping for some photo ops along the way.
