    I've had extremely bad luck with interstate batteries over the years. I'll never buy another! Multiple dead cells among about a half dozen or more batteries, some less than a week old. Their "QC" must be horrible.

    The Interstate Workaholic was the best at one time, at least for me but that was over ten years ago. East-Penn "DEKA" is the only American made battery left. They are reasonably priced is all I can say and I have had a set of 3 for 2 years now and still going strong.

    I use a lot of their commercial batteries with good results.

    Interstate batteries are made by Johnson Controls along with Sears Diehard and many other brands. They have a plant in Garland, Tx.
