There may be a quality difference with in the same manufacturer (I don't know). But with both of our 9-5s, the battery doesn't last 5+ years more like 3. I have a "Saab" labled battery in my 04, It is weak and will need replacing soon. The date stamp on the case says it was made Jan 07.
thats why if I will buy the cheapest JCI battery I can find and hope it lasts 4 years.
