yup i think the name is like 1-maxx or something like that, but its yellow and i think the price is like 59.99
Even the Everstart Extreme I think it was, 970 amp I had gave me 4 years... And like I mentoined through the original alternator, and 3 failed aftermarket units...
Hope I get that out of these... The one in the 91 is 3 years old... My friend and his mom both have the everstarts( Maxx ) in their cars and have never had an issue either... LOL
When their AC Delco batteries died we went with that because of the warranty...

Nothing but the best! The 1992 Mitsubishi Galant has an Everstart too... A 39.99 cheapie... This car sat for almost 2 years, got driven a little here and there... And the battery still starts the car...
I have put gas in the car 3 times in 2 years... When the interior of the bonnie was ripped down I was driving it... lol... Gotta love 4 cyl economy... This is the second everstart battery to be in it... Had the car in the family for 9 years... Not a bad track record in my opinion... And this batter is also 3 years old, bought it the same time I bought my 91'* battery... Both the battery in the Galant and the interstate battery in the bonnie were getting slugish and not holding a charge very well....lol
Do you guys make Interstate batteries?

I've got the maxx 1000, and it does have dual posts. Best warranty also. My last one failed (sides bowed, might have been from overcharging), didn't have a reciept but the manuf date was on it. that was good enough for her, she gave me a brand new one. It was right at the end of it'* warranty, now Ihave 3 more years. can't beat that with a stick.
forget to mention this was at Walmart

Battery in my truck is original so that would put it at 5-6 years. All the cars I've ever had never had battery problems. Think my 91 Grand Am battery finally died around 99.
