I say we go get the motherf@ck. Enough with the 1982 eddie murphy stand up but it was a good intro. I need to get a battery for the Mazda, what is the no shits given on price best brand to get? No, I'm not putting an Alien Motion or Ballistic in it, I want "classic" but don't want the thing shitting out in a year or two. What brand(s) should I look at and which should I avoid?
I just put a Interstate in my truck yesterday, not because of the brand but because I got it at cost from a friend that runs a car shop and that's what he stocks.
Get the Costco home brand. Cheap, effective and they have a great warranty. Or you can get Optimas at Walmart if you want top quality, but they are pricier.

Interstates suck..... I went through 4 bad batteries from a distributor before I said give me my money back..... Best luck I have with cars is AC Delco,...
I buy batteries made by Deka. Most (like 80%) come from Johnson Controls. I've always had good results with the Deka.
Yea I bought a yellow top beep cycle Optima for my mustang which I put maybe 2k on a year. Battery is about 10 years old now and besides leaving the dome light on and running it dead it has never failed to turn the motor over with plenty of power. Felt silly buying a $200 battery or whatever it was but I'm a lifer now. Kind of like the Pit Bull of batteries......
Optima. I use a yellow top in the truck. I have an inverter in the bed that I’ve used to power everything from tire warmers to a tv,3 fans, blender. It’s used as the tail gate vehicle and the battery gets run down but has never failed to crank the truck. It’s going on 4 years old now. Can’t speak highly enough about that battery. I have interstates in the bass boat, they’re ok. Will be upgrading them to lithium this winter to save weight.
Just go to Walmart and get whatever fits. Seriously. You don't need the high end stuff for that vehicle and it's usage.
