 They used to have an Auto Parts Warehouse like thati n the San Diego
Area. They lasted several years and then disappeared. 
But it is hard to beat one of the $29 or $39 Wal-Mart Batteries.
Again of course this is a very mild climate. No trying to start the car
after a night of 20 Below Zero weather.
