New battery

JDB · Jan 26, 2013

Finally changed the battery in the pickup. Bought the PU used in 2001. Never put a battery in it till now. Battery started getting weak this winter so changed it out. Old one was a Diehard gold series. Replacement is a Walmart. Before you start ragging on Walmart batteries, I have one that has been in a tractor for 9 years now

Son had a Deca in his vehicle. Let it go dead (left a 2 way radio on). We got him started, and he drove it a couple days, about 4 hours a day, charger on it overnignt - never could bring it back. Returned it to the dealer, got a replacement. Only had it in use for 13 months. Had an 18 month free replacement guarantee, so he did OK, but I wasn"t impressed in the life of that battery.

That's the only battery I use in all my vehicles. Including our Kohler standby generator. Hal

I can't buy a 6V battery at Walmart. Wonder if they would order it?

Almost any battery that you kill hammer dead is ruined.
