Maxx Start Battery

[jeepit]

Need extra marine battery for the camper. These are sold at Wal Mart. Are they a good battery?

As a former TLE tech at Wally World, I will tell you this: these are the same batteries that are sold in many, MANY different stores with the only difference being the sticker and the warranty. In relation to the warranty, you will be hard pressed to find ANYONE who will honer warranties as well as Wal-Mart. The free replacement guarantee is strictly adhered to regardless of fault by you or your equipment. If you run into a a tech who gives you a hard time just raise a fuss and ask for the manager, or worse case scenario, take it on down the road to the next wal mart.

(I no longer work there but I do own stock!

I've had the big Maxx Start battery for 5 years now in my camper. It's just now showing signs of getting old. A good battery for the price.

I've been using a Wal-Mart Group 31 Everstart Maxx Marine in our Lance camper for the last couple years. So far, it's working fine. Also I have the same battery, except it's a smaller Group 24, in our solar powered entrance gate opener. Works fine in that application too.

I used a lot of marine batteries in my boat over the years, I liked the walmart marine batteries when they were made my Johnson Controls, however the ones from Excide are not as good... .

Now I am using the Stowaways made my Excide, from marine & auto parts stores..... they weight at least 12 lbs more than the walmart Excide's in the exact same size. .

I think Excide build's to customer specs and you get what you pay for, a full day trolling out on the water prove's this to me... .

I used one too. Was fine. I have also found if you go to an Interstate dealer you can get batteries with a cosmetic defect real cheap too. Although they have no warranty.
