Battery Buying Tips

Advanced Matrix Radial Grids in the Interstate Mega-Tron® make it uniquely suited and sized for today's generation of electronically-loaded autos! Since it was introduced, the Mega-Tron brand has remained one of the most consistently top-rated batteries in the market.

Interstate Mega-Tron Plus ™: This is one of the most powerful batteries in the industry. With Silver Calcium alloy, it has 22% more life!

OPTIMA's unique anatomy is built on SpiralCell Technology®. Instead of flat plates used in ordinary batteries, OPTIMA uses two thin lead plates wound into a spiral cell with a glass-mat between to contain the acid. The technique of winding the cells, which are linked to solid connections, give maximum performance with a minimum of size and weight. This makes the battery compact, robust and easy to handle and mount.
