AFAIK, the dudes over at optima recommend one of their batteries to be used in trucks. Give them a email or cheak out the site.
I had a buddy using powermaster(XS power) batteries to start his 10wheeler truck everyday, one of the smaller ones...
Currently I have a optima d34 under the hood of a Rav4 and Ive gotten no problems what so ever with it and I abuse the hell outta that thing (spl compts etc). No issues with heat but it is mounted at the bottom of the windshield.
Kinetics Ive seen burst when run too low (car had a HUGE current draw and was being played with the engine off).
Caterpiller batteries IMO seem to last a good 3+ years when mated with proper charging systems. I love these for Heavy equipment but the price is a bit steep.
Ive used most of the local batteries in some very tedious conditions, conditions your cars could never replicate (or I hope so), so far rocket fails.
Powermaster(local) works ok but not for me I needed something more.
Ill have to make a pass by some of the equipment we use and check the names on the batteries or when they come home to charge and give some more remarks on them. |

What about Bosch? I keep seeing these ads on the highway in front Mustapha's (opposite the Nagar) saying they have a 36 month warranty.
Also, some time back I remember reading on another thread on tuner self that Mc Al was selling a battery with 8 years warranty??  Anyone know about that. (can't find the thread now)... |

Not knocking your choice eh hoss - but that is a hassle for me, and very likely for a lot of other people. What exactly are they checking when you go in every three months? After reading some (hard-to-find) reviews about the AC Delco - it seems that they are still an affordable, dependable buy. |

err what maintenance UML? 
i bought one at active general...about 8 months now,going strong
the only thing i had to go back for was for them to check the charging system and ensure that everything was working well etc
it's a good brand..the army uses them in their vehicle fleet |
