What is the better brand - Die hard, interstate or autocraft. Die hard is $10 cheaper than interstate (autocraft is $20). It's for a 6 year old honda.

Autocraft is the cheapest of the cheap products. I'd probably say, 'buyer beware' with regards to their stuff.

Depends on the MODEL of battery.

They all have their low end ones and their high end ones. Advance and Autozone offer free install and if you get it from one of them get their MIDDLE one. Not the cheapest but not the highest.

If seling the car thats when you get the cheap one, and if the car will be kept for 2-3+ years then MAYBE the high end one.

Keeping the car. I was planning on the mid-to-high end battery.

I've never had a problem with DieHard Gold. My cars sit on the street, and in Wisconsin winters, that can be battery hell.
