Same deal with Costco, in my experience, though they no longer carry the
correct size for us.

|One thing about Wal-Mart. When you return the battery you usually get a
|refund. When you re-purchase the replacement the warranty starts again.

|Just replaced an Exide battery with a Wally World battery of equal
|performance. Cost $70 and with a $10 crdit for the old battery the price
|was $60. Had a 36 month warranty. Battery was exact dimensions as the
|one removed and fit into the battery box just perfect.  Wally World has
|had its share of battery failure problems in the past, but they never
|question it. If it doesn't work, dies or whatever, no problem. Take it
|back and get a replacement. They are good about that. It's just
|inconvenient to have to repeat oneself if the battery fails in someway.
|This is my third Walmart battery and two failed before warranty expired
|- one within one week of purchase. But - if you get a good one - it will
|perform and last as good as any.
