    NAPA, or Duracell from Sams. Either should be a Deka vs an East Penn. I know it's a Ford vs Chevy debate, but I've simply had better service out of the Deka brand batteries. NAPA stood behind their warranty when I had one go down, so far I have not needed a warranty with one of the Duracell labels.

    The biggest that will fit from Duralast.
    I have one in the Tahoe and it's going on 5 years.
    Also have one in my wifes handicapped van with the electrical side ramps and it has handled it well.

    What year is the Tahoe? If it takes a Group size 48 the Delco is my number one seller.

    +1 Never had an Interstate that was worth a flip. Cranking, deep cycle, or down to the D-cells in a flashlight have all been junk in my experience. I was pleased with the Duralast Platinum AGM that I put in my Jeep. Will probably throw one of those in the truck when the time comes.

    I Have a Tahoe(probably much older) and live in Very Cold Winters & tow my Bassboat with my Truck... I agree on Napa Legend or any other Quality Battery. Just buy a good one if you spend winters in Michigan.. Buy a Battery Wrench $6 every where, I love it. No more looking for right size wrench. Change a battery in 3 minutes. Still need a wrench if you have cross bar..

    Everstart = Interstate = a bunch of others, all made by Johnson Controls.

    I like East Penn batteries, so I buy the Duracell's from Sam's Club.

    Duracell AGM from Sam's in the appropriate size. I replaced a 5 year old AC Delco in my 2013 GMC Sierra last year with a Duracell AGM. Excellent battery.
