Good car battery to buy?
Anyone have advice on a decent "brand" car battery to
buy? Anything from Walmart worth buying since they are EVERYWHERE in the US? |

What is wrong with shopping at Wal-Mart? I mean even if you buy into only purchasing name brands of products which is fine as it's personal opinion. Wal-Mart sells all kinds of brand name products, including baby food. What the hell is wrong with you? Brian |

Exide is pretty high up on the charts for reliability.

It's as simple as that. Some people have a reason to stay away from a chain store, either because they have cheap parts or inexperienced help. But some people bad-mouth a chain store just to jump on the bandwagon. Secretly, they buy parts at a chain store, but they just don't admit it in this newsgroup. If you think you can save money buying parts at a chain store, so be it. Don't let anyone else make up your mind for you. |

All the manufacturers in the market make good batteries.
All make them to the price/specs that suit the market position of the customer. Some require more stringent specs than others, and their customers pay more. And by the time this is read, Wal-Mart may have a different vendor on their batteries, and the batteries will look the same.

I use my vehicles hard up here in Canada and believe in the widest chain
store that has the best warranty, period! I buy the best quality one they offer for my application, usually at least a 5 year warranty and away I go happy. Even more happy one year later upgrading to a free brand new one on the other side of the country when it breaks from whatever. I bought a specialty battery for my newly rebuilt Jeep CJ7, an Optima and the sucker died from vibration in less than 3 years. It only had an 18 month warranty and cost 3 times the chain store price.
