Of these batteries, there are different grades. I recall that Die Hard Gold, Interstate, most OEMs, and others are in this tier of battery and are essentially the same.

It might be in our interest to look back at these lists and compile one big one that shows the batteries that share the same construction.

I'm running Interstate which I get at Costco since thats what they carry. The same Interstate battery from Costco (80-90 bucks) is $120 anywhere else.
