And the "specs" on a car battery don't tell you the important stuff -
like how long it will last, or when it will fail at -30. Knowing what
factory it was made in (only a few companies actually BUILD batteries
- regardless how many brand names there are) and which companies are
actually building quality batteries at that point in time (one company
makes the best this year - and it's the worst next year, for example)
is more important than what's printed on the label.
Canadian Tire used to have their AGM batteries made by Johnson
Controls, and they switched to Brad Penn?

East Penn, actually



. Same spec. Same model.
Different colored plastic. One was a POS and the other was and still
is one of the best batteries you can buy - at any price.
