I have run an Interstate battery without issues for the last year, but recently switched to an Optima Red Top. Although I had to get creative in mounting the fuse box on top of the battery, it is nearly 200-300A more than the Interstate in regards to CCA and CA. I am highly impressed. My Escort 8500 has a built in voltmeter. When I would sit at idle with the Interstate battery with all accessories running (lights, A/C, radio) and with as hot has it's been as of late, I would get a low voltage warning (10.5 VDC) when it activated. With the Optima I have yet to see one.
Pros: higher CCA/CA, no low voltage
Cons: creative mounting needed

I purchased a new oem battery today. The 12v 92ah AGM 850A EN/ SAE 520A. Hopefully this solves my current issue. I'll know a little better in the morning on my way to work. At least my key fob works from greater distances now.
Pros: key fob works better

Aside from getting a defective Bosch battery that was replaced for fre I've never had a problem with either.
Cons: defective battery
My Optima Redtop 8003-151 34R that I purchased through amazon kicked the bucket and cannot be recharged. Do not buy Optima Batteries from Amazon since they will send you back to Optima and Optima will tell you that Amazon is not an Authorized dealer.
Cons: cannot be recharged, died quickly
