Just replaced an Exide battery with a Wally World battery of equal
performance. Cost $70 and with a $10 crdit for the old battery the price
was $60. Had a 36 month warranty. Battery was exact dimensions as the
one removed and fit into the battery box just perfect.  Wally World has
had its share of battery failure problems in the past, but they never
question it. If it doesn't work, dies or whatever, no problem. Take it
back and get a replacement. They are good about that. It's just
inconvenient to have to repeat oneself if the battery fails in someway.
This is my third Walmart battery and two failed before warranty expired
- one within one week of purchase. But - if you get a good one - it will
perform and last as good as any.
