There's only about 3 companies that actually make batteries, Johnson Controls International or JCI, Exide and East Penn. JCI is the oem maker of Varta which is who MB uses for their OEM batteries. Champion and Duralast I believe are also JCI batteries so you mind as well buy whoever is cheaper. I think Pepboys had the Champion at 20% off plus the $40 rebate so it was probably the best deal, I think it's down to 20% off now. Autozone always seems to have their 20% off coupon code which you can find on retailmenot.com so I guess once the rebate expires, you just have to compare prices and see who comes out better.
