Interstate Blemished batteries? (Blems) Anyone with experience with these?

[Jeffkin]

I was going to go to Costco or Sears for a new battery, but I just read on a Hot Deals forum to try your local Interstate battery distributor for a blemished battery. I called them up and they said $30!! Everywhere else is around $100...

Anyone had experiences good/bad with how long an Interstate Blem lasts??

it depends on WHY its a blem. they'll do it for many reasons.
but usually none of them will decrease its use, or life.

i think after they're on the shelf for something like 6 months, they consider them blems, and reduce the price to clear them out.

either way, its an interstate, you cant go wrong.
