15 years is amazing. What vehicle and how are you using it? What part of the country? Keep it away from Fla, it will be dead in no time!
As to Interstate today, they are not a battery manufacturer, marketing and distribution only.
Johnson Controls was sold to a private equity company (hence the name change I mentioned) that is still one of the makers of Interstate private labeled batteries. Exide is another. Don’t know the history of Interstate, maybe they used to actually make batteries. But no more.
I wouldn’t be surprised that the reason Clarios ended the pro rata warranty is the private equity ownership. In my experience these companies loathe Warranty liability and want to flip the asset quickly. Ridding the liability exposure will make the company a lot more attractive to the next buyer.
Still looking for any insights of recent vintage especially for “value” priced batteries being used in late model cars.
