Default walmart battery

just can't beat it - a consumer reports best buy (was told this by a customer while i was looking up the proper battery) and made in America

$75.00 - 3 year free replacement warranty and 108 month prorated after that

this should be the last battery i ever buy for the truck

maybe Rex was right about walmart so i changed my tune about the place i can get condoms, cat food, milk and a truck battery all under one roof - what more can you ask for

oh and a cheaper core charge as well

Lainey you might want to give walmart a second chance

Walmart

Last time I was in Walmart buying dog food the cashier insisted on scanning all 36 cans of the same "flavor". That was the last time I stepped foot in a Walmart. And she was a decorated employee - their "best of the best". Now if that doesn't speak volumes what does?

Target all the way!

Just don't have the battery sent to an APO or FPO address and you are good!

Consumer reports is the biggest joke.

I worked in consumer electronics for a long time and have worked in sales dealing directly with consumers for my entire professional life. The customer shopping with a CR magazine under their arm was the most uninformed, uneducated person in regards to their future purchase. When they think they are doing research on a product they are simply relying on another's opinion, not making a decision of their own.
When shopping for a regular commodity (ie. Toaster, Battery, DVD player) it can have some value, but only when you can compair apples to apples. When shopping for a higher end or regular good - especially in consumer electronics - it compares items which don't have comparable features or different features all together. Eg. Shopping for TV's - yes a tv is a tv - but there are different types of tvs: plasma, lcd, dlp, led. You can compare a Plasma to a plasma or maybe a lcd projection to a dlp projection, but not a plasma to a dlp projecton. I've found there are many things they leave out. It's like comparing Honda motorcycles to Harleys - yes they are both bikes but people buy one over the other for more reasons than price and features.
