I have used Interstate Batteries for years. One of the few that still makes
batteries with the "ears" for the hold down rods/clamps. One Lister
mentioned that after installing a new battery the starter cranked faster.
If your starter cranks slowly, be sure to also check to see that the engine
ground strap is connected properly. Makes one heck of a difference.

Doug: Interstate Batteries is another battery company and according to
their web site is located in Dallas, Texas. To quote them, "Enjoying a
reputation for top-quality products, business innovations and consistently
reliable service, Interstate Batteries is the No. 1 replacement brand
battery in North America. Now over a billion dollar, privately-held
corporation, our enterprise continues to thrive on our innovation as well as
our good old-fashioned business principles."
Johnson Controls shows Optima as one of their products yet the Optima web
site makes it sound like a stand alone company headquartered in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. I see no mention of Johnson on the Optima web site although it
is headquartered in Glendale, Wisconsin, which appears to be about six miles
north of Milwaukee. ???
