Walmart batteries

[funola]

I have a group 49 EverStart battery from Walmart in my 300D and it does not have much cranking power or duration. Maybe I killed it when I left some lights on and drained the battery. How many 10 sec bursts of cranking (with 5 minute rests in between) should a healthy battery be capable of? How many amps should the 300D turbo starter motor draw?

Anyway, the group 49 EverStart is $65 (being discontinued) but I did not have my receipt (which you're suppose to have for an exchange) but luckily Walmart allowed me to pay $10 to exchange it for their better group 49 Maxx battery which is $75. Hope it's a better battery.
