Walmart.com ValuePower batteries

[patracy]

Dunno if this is true or a fluke, but I ordered a pair of batteries last night for the ECU Trailer I have from walmart.com.

http://www.walmart.com/browse/91083...=91083_1104292_1072085&facet=brand:ValuePower

Picked them up this AM, no core charge on them. The selection is limited, but there's some batteries we can make do with in there for our MV's. $50 for a new battery is a good deal. Sticker says Johnson on them, so they're US made batteries. Before I picked them up I went over to the auto section, they are not sold there. You must buy them online and pick up at the walmart.com service counter. Maybe a little of a hassle, but worth the savings I think.

Maybe someone else can give it a try and see? Batteries fired up the ECU just fine in my case. (Group 24 batteries, needed the smaller ones to fit in the generator enclosure)

I saw those at Walmart the other day - The store near me has them on the shelf. I don't know what to think of them, they might be the kind of thing that if you have no expectations, you will not be deceived...

The link shows each model out of stock. Might check the store, I have a use for a couple of $50 batteries.

Think the 650s would start a Deuce?

Indeed. I guess with it being a generator, it's not exactly the same as a vehicle. But I'll report back if I have any issues.

Might be my link honestly. I tried to back out and look at online only for that model. You might have to play around with your zip code to find in stock.

Here in the south? Yes. I've used some smaller batteries like that in a multifuel with no problems. But up north, I dunno. And I'd doubt it in a NHC-250 powered vehicle. Unless you put 4 in maybe.

They are instock and in the auto section at my local stores.

I have bought them.

They are something new.

Did you buy in store, or online? Core charge?

 

[doghead]

In store, no core charge.

very cheap and there exposure is only one year. Any descent battery will last a year. Johnson Controls is one of the few remaining battery companies. They make Sears and Diehard brand. Quality outfit.

No core charge is wild. Never saw that in all the years I sold lead.

They also make Costco batteries. I know from experience they are reliable.

I just picked up a WalMart ValuePower 26R-1 battery (in store) for a family car on
11-13 for $48.88 (before tax).

There was a core fee of: $12

Turned in an old L-O-N-G dead (useless to me) battery for the core requirement.
Seems to be working fine so far. It came with a one year, full refund warranty with receipt.

I have always had luck going to a Voltex or Interstate batteries and asking for their "blems".
They carry the same warranty as a "non-blem"(usually a ding on the plastic), but a 1000cca is about $ 45.00.
