Get the battery (even if the same size) with the highest CCA and
Reserve Capacity (RC). These normally have more plates.

For example, Autozone lists 2006 Accord LX V6:

35-DLG 640 CCA, 100 RC,
vs
35-DL's 500 CCA and 80 RC.

440 CCA sounds wimpy. Must be from the lowest bidder.

Yes, Interstate is made by Johnson Controls. They also make Autozone
batteries, and I believe WalMart's too. They're very good batteries. I
personally would stay away from Exide batteries.
