Time to battery up. load test bad after 6 years. Looks like Walmart is out of the TM battery business. So who has the best deals?

Hey Cane the WM I work at has the MAXX Batteries with 18 mo Warranty I think they are $80
Also look at Auto Zone Dura-last i think they still have a 3 year on them.
I use Auto Zone Duralast, they seem to last around 3 years then need to be replaced. I was hoping to switch to Wally World, just hoping for something better.
I don't know how often you make it to Jackson but they have an Interstate distributor there. You may have one close to your neck of the woods. Point is they sell "blems" with a warranty. Blem as in cosmetic but no damage to the plates. They'll even load test them for you. Cost about 1/2 of retail.
I always got my batteries from there and when we moved over here to Chatty I was happy to find out there is a distributor close by me. Picked up a starter battery a few months back that had been rotated on the shelf for a year. Price was about $45.
The Everstart, Duralast and Interstate are all the same Johnson Controls battery. So is the Energizer at Sam's Club. Go for the best deal/warranty you can find and you should be good to go. Make sure you get a new one! Walmart has a sticker on them showing the month they were made.
Your old set may be the maintenance free model. The new ones are not maintenance free.
Tom I got 31 series from O'Reilly Auto Parts for $90.00 each.
sears die hard, power to spare
I hear a lot of good stuff about the blue top batteries, but their price is high. Optima battery? 3 times the charges that a standard battery will take they last a long time under guiding conditions. Other than those I believe Interstate to be about as good as they get. My trollers came from Wally, so when they go I'll be in the same shape you are. Let us know the outcome.
I am a interstate batts dealer live in middletown ohio you can call me if intersted good prices 513 267 2472 mike bowman
Those will be Deka/East Penn batteries. Should be decent.Quote:
