For a short period of time, several years ago, Wal-Mart stocked quality Johnson Controls batteries. But more recently they went the low-ball route with Excide.

Excide is total crap.

Never buy a battery without knowing the source manufacturer. There is source information on-line but it can change quickly depending on how much profit a particular company wants to make short term. Long term, people find out about Excide and never buy one again.

Last battery I bought was a Johnson Controls battery from AutoZone. Sears is a JC battery also.

Excide is total crap. Sooner or later, but total crap.
