I was able to find a Deka at a local shop for $165. Better than what autozone wanted for the duralast at $220. I didn't think about Walmart carrying batteries and there's not a rural king that's closer than 45min away.

Tractor Supply, Fleet/Farm, Costco, Sam's Club all carry batteries too. :D

Tractor supply batteries are expensive but in a pinch they carry a bunch. I’m almost convinced that all batteries come from the same manufacturer in china and just install different stickers for brand names cause it seems they’re all expensive and lack good life expectancy. Unless I’m the only one who has batteries going bad all the time.

A battery has a life expectancy of 3 years (or less) out here in the desert. The summer temperatures cook the life out of them. Doesn't matter if it's a cheap one or an expensive one, they all die a premature death compared to most other places. :oops:

I work in Supplier Quality for Mazda and we source our batteries from two production sites in the USA. Now, where their subcomponents come from is a different story. They at least make the cells in their sister facility in South Carolina.

My 2018 Hellcat is still rocking the factory battery out here in Michigan

This is interesting. I was planning on picking up a piece of shaded polycarbonate to cut a new windshield, but maybe I'll give this a try, instead.

I was ready to replace mine. I wasn't expecting this much of an improvement from polishing it.
