Every few years, Consumer Reports does a battery test. Sears Diehard, Interstate, and Autozone Duralast are always duking it out for the top spots. I buy Duralast.
Wal Mart batteries are cheap for a reason.

It's my pot and I'll stir it if I want to. If you're not careful, I'll stir your's as well!
About three years ago the battery in my Pathfinder died on a Saturday afternoon in a Walmart parking lot. Not to many choices there, so bought a Walmart battery. Much to my surprise it is still working just fine with strong starts even on a relatively cold morning.
Now that I have said that, it will probably die this week.

I had them in my mower, one of my bikes and my tractor and never had a problem with them. The tractor was a ":*&^% to start too.
Go get a couple. If they fail Wal-Mart will take anything back...

I have them in my truck. The test results I've read in Consumer Reports usually rates them highly. I also have one in my wife's Tahoe. No problems with them whatsover.

I don't have any experience with the Everlast. I did just put a set of 7YR-65s from AC Delco in my truck. 50 month replacement, with prorated warranty to 7 years. Figure I couldn't beat that.

I don't much about Everstart. I think they are an Exide (Johnson Controls) Product. I just bought the Interstate Mega Tron Plus, last week. I just Interstate doesn't make an Optimus Prime Plus. Interstate has never let me down.
