We seem to always need a new car battery in Seattle. It is cold here and if you leave the battery on even for a little bit, it just kills it. Amazingly, Galtech.com says that there are really only three battery manufacturers left, Delphi, Exide and Johnson Controls. Everything else is OEMed. So for instance, Delphi makes EverStart for Walmart and ACDelco. While Johnson Controls makes Duralast for Autozone, Diehard for Sears, Kirkland for Costco, Motorcraft and Interstate. And, Exide besides its own name, makes Champion, Napa and some EverStart for Walmart.
It does point out you typically need a new battery every three years and the best places to get them are Goodyear, Sears, Firestone or Pep Boys. You can get them cheaper at a Target, K-mart or Walmart or even online,b ut then you have to install it yourself.
