just don't get a wal mart one, there are only a couple of companies that actually make car batteries (the wal mart ones seem to fail sooner as do die hards from my experience replacing batteries in customer cars) I have an advance 3 year warranty one in my bravada, and a yellow top optima in the gp and so far so good

if it's been sitting I would pass on it, the warranty is I think 2 years, but it has probably discharged, and may be bad from sitting.

all of the optimas, but moreso the yellow hold their charge exremely well, shouldnt have gone bad.


oh and on your note on battery mfg's?

JCI (Johnson Controls) makes your die hards, and your advance auto, autozone, motorcraft, interstate... others... and even makes the walmart batteries! (if you're not sure, one of the best clues is the cap on top of the cells... johnson has a patent on the integrated vent style cap that you see on these batteries.. you'll notice they're all the same.)

obviously there can be some different specs between them, but they use the same basic construction.
