go to autozone

Almost all batteries(including interstate) are made by the same company, Johnson controls Iirc.
Best bet would be advanced auto parts.buy online with coupon and pickup in store
Pm your car model and I'll search if I can

How long do you plan on keeping the car, that usually will dictate what type of battery to buy

I have been successful buying a car battery at walmart (really cheap) or if you need a good warrenty Costco
