Most of the batteries are made in the same 1/2 dozen plants and just have different labels stuck on the so there really hasn't been any big breakthroughs in standard tech in a long time. That said, any of the upper level ones are the best bet as they do use the higher quality materials. I am a diehard Diehard fan since I have had great service from them over the years. Batteries are one of those things that you truly get what you pay for.

I could go on for hours. The good news is that most were indeed covered by warranty.
