Battery ?

[FED 387]

as a matter of fact "I believe" but I am not sure that Johnson controls makes Sears--Interstate Battery-Walmart-Kmart and a few others--- as was just said they just put a label on it for whoever is marketing them----Many different "brands" all on the same truck being delivered by Johnson Controls ----

Costco is not an option as the nearest one is over 100 miles away.

Too bad 'nuthin' isn't a choice.

I bought an Interstate farm battery with a 30 mo warranty. Dead cell at 22 mos. Went back and first they told it was nothing wrong with it. I beg to differ. Finally they put it on a 'low charge' test and it failed-dead cell. With the 'pro-rated' warranty, the difference was $105. I said "I didnt pay that much when I bought those batterys'. She said Interstate takes the MSRP and deducts the warrant. She said '....you can buy the battery straight out for $95.....'

I'll pick something else.

Really its much cheaper and less aggravating to just replace the battery everyyear with a NEW one-----just consider it part of the cost of racing ---its like buying new slicks/oil plugs etc. ---things do wear out---so its a $100, you probably spend that much in time and gas running back and forth trying to talk some clerk into giving you one for free or at a deep discount---F--- it just buy the damn thing and throw it in the trailer as a spare---Comp387

My original ? was about Energizer from Sam's Club or Everstart Maxx fro Wal-Mart, this is not for my racecar & those are the only two I'm interested in. I also had an Interstate in my tractor which lasted about a year or so, replaced it with a cheap one from Wal-Mart which is still going strong after 5 years.
thanks,
John

John, I think you just answered your own original question....you've had good luck
with the Wal-Mart battery, just go get one from Wal-Mart.

I've had good luck with batteries from Costco, but I would be willing to bet that the
Wal-Mart battery would be a good choice too.
