So I just figured I would get a new one. The MB battery is $116 with a 2 year free replacement. Which one would you get?

The dummy at the MB parts counter went and looked at the battery to see for me what the CCA was on the thing and came back and said 100amps. I said that would not start my car. He said it would and came back and said that all it said was 100amps. Is this guy and idiot?
Beware Pud Boys "warranties". You may find yourself with a so-so battery when new, which holds just enough charge after 3 years that it doesn't quite qualify to give you $50 toward a new battery (which is now $120), etc.etc.

If you want a great battery, get an Interstate.
