There is some debate as to whether or not the 1000 amp batteries use plate that are too thin, but I like to know in -40 degree weather that I can crank. Sears batteries have great warrantees too, so you can bring them back. They are manufactured by Exide, so they are decent too. Costco has some good batteries too.
I replace batteries whenever they fail the free load test at Sears or other Auto stores and I check the load test once every 6 months, so I am not afraid of using these batteries as they never have a chance to go bad and cause me trouble. They are affordable to any budget and typically last 6-8 years under my use in Saskatoon, SK, and in NYC. Saskatoon is especially a brutally cold place, and I have no trouble cranking, even at -40F. I think that is as cold as you will see in Twin Cities.
