What's with the blue and the yellow connectors??? I didn't notice them with the green battery. Now they really slap me in the face!

Re: Updated Pics

Maybe it's just me, but I would have kept the Green INTERSTATE battery due
to it saying INTERSTATE (mark of quality) on it, over a plain ole` black one.

Re: Updated Pics

There are those of use who would disagree on Interstate being a mark of quality. Maybe it's just me,and a few other people at the time,but I had bad experience with them years ago and it's kept me away ever since. Name,color,and all that hardly matter with all batteries made by just a few companies.

That "plain ole' black one" is an AC/Delco. I pulled the sticker off the top and put it on the side of the Battery. I agree with tim also, all batteries are being made by a few companies and then they put their logos on them.

So far this battery is doing it's job well. And since I use my disconnect when I'm NOT driving it, which is Monday through Thursday (usually), it should keep it's charge.
