Great Battery link

So my Jetta battery died.  Looking all over the place calling, turns out that 
nobody makes a battery for a 98 Jetta Vr6.  Oddly they make one for a '97 and 
one for a 2000, but none for a 98 or 99 Jetta Vr6.  Wierd huh?  I refused to 
buy a VW battery for $115, so I began to research.  I came accross this link

 Which has everything you'd ever want to know about Batteries.  I went with 
the 2000 Jetta battery which was a group 47 battery, Which my favorite battery 
supplier (Walmart) does not carry.  Why do I love Walmart batteries?  Well 
this link just proved what I had always thought.  Because Walmart, Sears Diehard, 
Autozone, Discount Auto, Cosco, and even Optimas are all the same damn 
batteries made by Johnson Controls. So why would I pay 95 dollars for a Diehard when 
I can have the same battery for 39 dollars from Walmart?  Well I found my 
battery at Advanced auto for 65 dollars, more than I wanted to pay but I'll deal 
with it.  Its got a 3 year free replacement warranty.  Well check out the link 
http://uuhome.de/william.darden/ its good really good info on Batteries and a 
great Battery FAQ.
