The batteries the Walmart and autozone sells come from the same factory. The only thing different is the label. They are both made by Johnson Controls. I know because I am a truck driver and I have picked up and delivered these.

Seems like the cost of a battery at Auto Zone goes up 25 bucks every time I need one...

My mother-in-law's battery died when she was visiting. I got her the cheapest Walmart battery just so she would leave. Well, it was too good. It's been 5 years and she keeps coming back. Same battery I bought her.

Hi Scotty, I once wasted 5 years of my life working in a battery manufacturing plant. I learned a lot about automotive batteries as well as getting lead poisoning. Now this manufacturer is very well known company but the real secret was that we built batteries for everybody. We built batteries for discount auto parts stores as well as batteries for the likes of Ford and John Deere. Sometimes our production line would change who we were building for mid shift. The reason this was possible was simple. The only difference between the 70 buck discount battery and the 160 buck JD or Ford battery was the color of the plastic case and the placard we slapped on the top. Internally they were all the same battery. The only different battery we made that was different was military grade batteries. They were three times the size and weight of car batteries, were constructed with a much heavier shell and still had tar filled tops so bad cells could be easily replaced. Recently some scam artists are claiming they can teach you "the secret" of repairing car batteries. Now there is a way to get a bit more life out of some small rechargeable batteries if you don't mind one or two of them exploding in your face. But I know for a fact today's car batteries are specifically built so nobody can repair them. If a battery came off the assembly line defective we would cut the top off with a band saw (because once the top is epoxied on it will never come off) the lead was then recycled and the rest of the battery (plastic shell and paper separators were tossed into the trash bin. If the manufacturer can't repair them nobody else is going to be able to do so either. The lab boys spent all day making sure of that.

I think I commented this before, but the guy at autozone tried getting me to buy the most expensive battery by saying “this battery will make your car feel like a dead serious

Anyone else notice...Cars today don't give warnings when the battery is getting old and worn out. You just go out one day and suddenly it won't start. Also, they have scanners that can check the battery health that plug into your OBD port (on board computer). WHICH car's computer already has the proper testing and feedback components and car makers could easily give you a warning before you're left stuck. But they dont!

He’s accurate about the old Delco battery. I used to work for Delco and we built batteries in Muncie, IN, New Jersey and Anaheim, CA. When Delco closed those plants and the batteries were sourced to Korea, battery warranty claims went crazy. Most of it had to do with the shelf life.

Ha ha! Spot on! I jumped off this college student's car with her boyfriend standing there. After I got it going, I told her to get it replaced at Walmart, not the local Auto Zone. .they will rip you off. The boyfriend got mad and and said "I work at Auto Zone!" 😆 I left and said "Walmart!"

[__tim]

The EXACT same oil at Wal-Mart is almost half of what the local chain store charges.

Tune in and listen to Scotty talk about acid in the 60's. lol

[tonymontana]

I bought a deep cycle marine battery, essentially two batteries in one. Run power equipment etc and still have plenty of power. I paid $300 at Batteries Plus, installed with a 5 year replacement warranty. I like it!

[VegasHighroller]

That ever start battery that Wal-Mart sells, on reviews it holds up very well when compared to big name battery’s. Can’t beat it for the price ! Saves you about $80 to $100 some cases !

[oscar.gonzalez]

Price of lead sure going up due to the civil unrest.

[leegraves]

I've gotten my batteries at walmart for years will never pay part store mark up.

[michelprovencher]

Regarding batteries I knew things had changed. Your tutorial explains it all. Thanks for the info.

[chevyblock]

I know a guy who got 7 years out of a NAPA battery. I put one in my truck last month. Costed me about $150 bucks but not a bad price to pay for that long of a life. My previous battery barely survived 2.5 years.

[SeanPopify]

Hahaha, Scotty is making enemies in his new town. The Toyota dealership, AutoZone, etc... 😁

[adambrady]

Lead is used for bullets... a pretty popular item these days.

A well kept secret, is a battery manufactured in USA in Pennsylvania by a company called Eastpenn mfg. Their Deka line is one of the best batteries for the money. The battery is sold at independent auto supply stores or tire shops. I am impressed with how well their batteries hold up. I bought one for a truck rated at 850A CCA and it tested out at over 950A CCA on the meter.
