"the battery on my 97 TJ" ... "finally died." .... "any suggestions
on which make " ..... "to stay away from?" .... "Canadian Tire"

As a note... Parts Source <==> Canadian Tire. Same company, same
lack of quality auto parts. I can't even begin to tell you how often
their computers list the wrong parts -- or the parts themselves simply
do not fit, or don't even meet let alone exceed the original OEM
specifications. Be very very wary about purchasing any automotive
parts from them that could result in you walking.
And if you plan on putting a winch on your Jeep DON'T put one of their
batteries in your Jeep.. I had not one but two fail as a direct result
of normal winch use, one just cracked and leaked, the other exploded
and left one hell of a mess under the hood... The one that exploded
was only a few weeks old and did so when I spooled out a few feet of
cable with no load on it..there is simply no reason why it should have
failed like it did.

Re: Battery question
I have always liked interstate batteries. I only bought an optima because I
got it at Costco for $90 us.

Batteries produce explosive gasses. Perhaps it was your faulty winch wiring
that ignited it.
