  In the last year I have seen two Johnson Control batteries purchased
from Wal=Mart (I forget the brand, but the one brand they sell) - go
bad in 18 months.

I ran a WalMart Everstart for 7 years before I got nervous one winter
and replaced it with the same type. The old one has served as my
accessory battery for the past 3 years and is still going strong.  The
new one cranks like new.  Luck of the draw?  Any one else have short
(or long) lived EverStart batteries?
