Interstate Batteries and the Virginia Bass Federation Team Up

Interstate Batteries is proud to be the 2002 battery sponsor of the Virginia Bass Federation. Interstate batteries provide batteries for give-aways at the state tournaments, children's miracle network tournaments and they provide the batteries for the annual raffle boat. For years, Interstate Batteries has been a major sponsor in NASCAR, winning the prestigious Winston Cup Championship in 2000. They are very excited about supporting the local anglers and the Virginia Bass Federation with its excellent reputation.

1 Out of Every 6 Marine/RV batteries Sold in the U.S. is an Interstate Battery

Interstate’s high-quality products, unparalleled service, and overall value, make it the top-selling marine/RV battery. Their liquid-electrolyte battery, designed specifically for starting or deep cycling in boats and RVs, has thicker plates and denser chemical-active paste than automotive or commercial batteries. It can produce about 250 deep cycles at 100% depth of discharge. The advanced chemical technology delivers 16% more life cycles, performs better in high heat and recharges better than older technologies. And Interstate's vibration-resistant technology resists damage caused by the hard jolts of rough water or rugged roads.

Interstate Batteries has built our reputation on providing "Power Fast. Built to Last®." This guarantee is due to their regular route service, which they have perfected during 50 years in the battery business. They hope to be a long-time player in the local fishing tournaments.

Interstate Batteries also provides the clean, reliable, high-power output and deep-cycle characteristics found in the Optima® batteries. This marine blue-top battery is completely sealed, making it a unique design that can be mounted in any position and NEVER requires water addition. Because it’s nonspillable, it is safer for people, equipment and the environment. Best of all, you can leave the battery in your boat all year round! Also, the tightly wound Spiralcell® design resists jarring and eliminates plate shedding. The Optima battery is 15 times more resistant to vibration than a traditional flooded, flat-plate battery.

Virginia Bass Federation customers may find the nearest of more than 10,000 Interstate Batteries marine/RV dealers, including marinas, in the U.S. and Canada by visiting www.interstatebatteries.com or by calling 1-800-CRANK IT.
