in the spring i got my two 8d starting batteries at napa for like 160 apiece.

I had NAPA Batteries and they served us well. They are now $214 each for the 1400 CCA;

My No Label Sealed 8D's tested at over 1400 CCA.

I think that they will all give a similar performance and life. My thoughts are that they are consumable and should be replaced when they start showing age or diminished performance. Our 2 Stroke Detroits need good batteries.
Didn't check SAMS since we are not members.
