Personally, I've never had a problem with batteries from WallyMart
though I wasn't really aware of the change in their supplier so perhaps
most of my experience predates that.  I do use one of their Deep Cycle
batteries (made in Mexico by Johnson Controls) but I have it under the
rear/bench seat so I presume it is too big (group 24) to fit under the
driver's seat.

If you get a battery from W-M just go to the back door and you're in &
out in minutes.   Never seems to be a line back there and they'll even
remove the old one and put in the new if you're wrench-challenged or
just lazy that day.

I realize most put the aux under the driver's seat but under the bench
makes it real handy for adding an additional accessory outlet (cigarette
lighter), AC power inverter, Voltmeters for main & aux, etc.
