Johnson Control Industries makes Duralast seen in Autozone stores, Diehard - sold in Sears, Kirkland - the Costco brand, Motorcraft - which Ford sells, some of the EverStarts, and Interstate. Exide makes Exide batteries, Champion, Napa and even a % of the EverStart batteries."
Thanks BoxsterG,That's good info! Its amazing how much more a battery can cost when the same battery has a different label.

For those who used a Costco sourced Battery, what Costco group ID# was it that fit? They do not use a proprietary designation...

My nine year old did the X5 on the weekend. 10 minutes, walmart $149 with a 5 year warranty, vs dealership $430 for made in the black forest one.
