Default I just replaced mine with a Interstate MTP-93. $136

The OEM was 54lbs this one is 10lbs less and is 850cca and 1000ca. 85 month warranty.

Default I put 5 Deka batteries in my boat and they have been great. Look up your

local distributor and buy through him instead of a retailer.

Default I just got the Duralast.

It is made by Jonson controls, and you may be able to get the same battery, under Wal-Marts brand for about $20 less. I paid $90.

It is about ten pounds lighter than the OEM.

Default i just put a duralast in a month ago. put one in the old A4 and it worked great for years

so i figured i would give it a go in the S4. has a pretty decent warranty too and was significantly cheaper than others like the interstate. give it a go. i've been pleased with two of them.
