Yea, but for $40 buck and free replacement for a year, why not if you
can risk it. Unfortunately this same battery is sold under many
different names, in both white and black cases that you can get the same
crap even by paying more. This is also a great deal as an auxiliary
battery for a camper. No questions asked when you bring it back.

I have had good luck with interstate too.

The champion batteries tend to fail if not abused too!
