    Looks like a disgruntled customer that found this site while searching wal-mart batteries and is spamming any negative comments he can to a web site that will allow him to

    I quit going to Wal-mart about a year ago for many reasons and I feel better for that decision every day.

    Where I live it's hard not to shop at Walmart. I hate it but that's just the way it is here in a rural area. But, I will say, I just bought a battery from my local parts store. It's a Continental Brand and was about $30.00 cheaper than Walmart's equivalent.

    I most always buy Delco batteries from my local parts house........but....Consumer Reports did a automotive battery test a year or two ago and Wal-Mart batteries, the yellow case, cold weather area models, were found to be both the best performing and a**** the lowest cost. And, they are made in the USA. You could do worse.

    First battery purchase for the Stude and only nearby place I could find that stocked a 6V battery was Autozone -- and they only had one. So far, so good...

    It's wal-mart, it's not a parts house, it's not a dealership, it's a bargain store.
    I've never understood people who go to wal-mart for auto parts or even worse; automotive service.
    I worked in the tire lube express when I was 18. Let me share some knowledge with everyone; those "techs" are just kids off the street trained via a couple of dozen computer modules, and paid barely over minimum wage. When I was there it was me and two other car guys and a bunch of numb skulls...including the managers. Don't go there for service!
    The batteries are fine, I've run them for years, but I always buy the high end ones, so that's all I can really recommend.

    You deserved a dead battery. Good job supporting a place like walmart. I would never shop there.
