Hah!

My battery is from good ole Wally World. And it is the best damn battery in the world. I worked for that damn thing.

Funny story on it. I drained my OEM battery in Jan '11 while testing some audio gear at 1am the night before an exam, 35 miles from home in the middle of Atlanta. I initially went to Walmart, ten miles away, for a battery, came back and tried to put it in. The bolts on the braces over the battery were rusted on pretty tight (from Monte's previous life in Minnesota), so it was back to Walmart again for a gator grip to pull it off.

3am, the Walmart battery was installed.

Did I mention it was JANUARY? It was freaking cold.

Once this (surprisingly durable) battery wears out, I think I'm going to get a battery from Interstate or some other high end company with a gel cell battery. Never going to Optima, they were good at one point, but not anymore.
