Hey guys hope everyone is well . First off let me say up front I don't enjoy shopping at Walmart , I have often called them the evil empire 😁 . Fast forward to yesterday when I notice battery acid stains on the concrete floor ☹️ .

Turns out the passenger side battery is cracked. ! This is in my 2001 GMC diesel dually and she takes two . The Interstate batteries in there now are six years old so I decided to replace both .


Called three different local parts stores and for a battery with 800 CCA /1000 CA they were all $159.00 with a core charge of 18.00-22.00 each . Checked Walmart website and they are $98.00 each with a $12.00 core charge . Saving over $60.00 for EACH battery !!! Is Walmart's volume so high they can beat the competition by that much ? We all know there are just a few battery manufacturers in the world and they are all good . These are the standard size GM spec # 78 batteries and the same 3 year replacement battery . It pays to shop around .
