Anyone use Champion (@ Pepboys) Battery?

OEM battery seems to be starting to conk out. There's a PepBoys not too far from me that's offering 25% off, and free installation.

The only brand that will fit a '13 SS, is "Champion" brand. Believe it's made by Johnson Controls, who makes a lot of off-brand batteries.

Anyone ever use them? They have an AGM and non-AGM version

Thanks!

Yes very good price, but for another $25 I’d go for the AGM

I'm wondering how the Champion batteries are as well. I have a Pep Express commercial account. I used to get Optima and Bosch batteries from the local Pep Boys, but they are only carrying Champion now.
