New Battery - which brand??

Costco or Optima

Optima batteries are great, but at Costco you take it in every 35 months and get a new battery for free, no BS pro rating if done within 3 years

I'm thinking the same thing myself. It seems that batteries last about 48 months and die almost without notice, so I plan on doing a preemptive strike and replacing the one in my '09 which has about 30K miles on it now and is 3 1/2 years old.
There are a few recent good threads on Bob Is The Oil Guy about battery quality:

Do you leave the windows up or down when you disconnect the battery?
I forget
