I have a $80 fleet farm battery and its excelent. My dad got one for his '97 burb about 8 years ago and its just now starting to show its age. Mine is a little over 1000 cranking amps at 32 degrees F and 850 at 0 degrees. My old battery was a $130 interstate and lasted 4 years. I have left the dome light on for days and not even a hint of deadness. It turns over so fast in winter now too.

I figured I'd report back that I took the old battery out of my Suburban and put it in the Silverado (when I sold the Silverado I didn't want to give them a brand new battery) and the Interstate/Costco battery has done very well in the Suburban. I left an interior light on for over a week which drained it completely. Gave it a jump start and even though completely draining it is really bad for the battery it seems to still work great. I frequently leave the Suburban sitting for up a week then drive it to work and back or to my aunt's and back (short trips) and it always starts right up.

Get a battery at walmart with a warranty. Then one month before the warranty is up have them test it. If the cold cranking amps doesn't test to what it's rated (it wont) You'll get a new battery with a new warranty. That's how I got a brand new top of the line battery for $25 last time I went to walmart lol. I had to only pay the difference. This one has a 5yr warranty.

Are the interstate batteries at Costco black or white with a green top?
I got the white one from my local interstate truck for 93
