Interstate manufactured battery carrying Honda 60 month label failed at less than 12 months in service. Interstate distributor delivered a new Interstate battery as I watched. I saw Honda dealer apply a Honda 60 month warranty label and then install new battery at no cost under warranty. Honda branded 60 month batteries are really low quality Interstate batteries. I suggest using Consumer Reports to select a better brand for battery replacement
