interstate batteries for honda accord
Hello,
I previously posted about my honda accord's battery failing the battery check. I've since called the dealer and found out that the Parts Dept batteries are Interstate batteries, not the factory originals. I currently have a Delphi battery. Are interstate batteries just as good? I know they also carry this battery in Firestone Tires. Any advice on having it replaced via Firestone vs. the dealer? Thanks |

If you actually want a great battery, get down to Sears and get the
Gold WeatherHandler. $80 + tax. Otherwise you're getting a mediocre-to-pretty good battery, which may serve your needs perfectly well, depending on how long you keep the car. I have an Interstate Megatron in my '04, bought at Sam's Club. But it isn't a Megatron 2 which is apparently better, or a standard Interstate, which is assuredly worse. It's just a $50 battery, and you can get the equivalent pretty much anywhere for around the same price. But some $50 batteries are just junk. For example, stay far away from Exide. |

Yeah, they frequently go on sale: A whopping $5 off.
If you need a battery today, you pay today's price. |
