    Honestly. Since you didn't say where or in what climate you live and the RESERVE Capacity of each battery. I'll have to go with the interstate battery based solely on the warranty.

    If you don't live in an extremely cold climate. I would get the one with the best Reserve Capacity with a "good" warranty.

    I've had good luck with the Diehards. Also, you may get a better warranty with the Interstate but you are paying almost 1 1/2 times the price. I'd prefer to save the money and put it towards a new battery In the fourth year..

    IMHO, longer free replacement warranties are more valuable that prorated warranties because the prorated ones are normally calculated from the MSRP, which are often more that what is actually paid for the battery. Both batteries have the same performance and capacity specs suggesting that they were made on the same line and the only difference is the case.
