<VV> 51R Batteries only three major sources

This comes up every so often, I like X because Y is a terrible battery.

Check out this link:

There are only THREE major lead-acid battery manufacturers here in the US.
They keep buying out their competition.

Note, Interstate is NOT a manufacturer, just a distributor of a private
label battery. They buy from two of the big three manufacturers, and from
C&D Battery.

Just paid $114 at Advance a week ago for their "Gold" which is now in the 
Rampside.  No problem, I've never had an Interstate battery that I thought 
was worth a darn, but then I've not had one in over twenty years.  Maybe 
they are better now?
