Next pay check I'm gonna invest in a nice one. This wal Mart one seems to make the voltage meeter bounce. Very odd. Alternator maybe needs a look at.

Are you using the batt only as a starter batt or for a bunch of electronics and other stuff that will drain your batt?

Well that doesn't bother me too much. I know I can pull the alternator and have it tested to be good or bad. Then go from there.

The Walmart Everstart actually gets really good reviews. I've used them in a few vehicles over the last few years with no problems and easy replacement for the couple that have gone bad.

I used to use only Optima red tops although the last few I've had weren't very good. The first one was still kicking 7 years after I purchased it. The next couple only gave me a little more than the 3 year warranty before needing to be replaced.

The next batteries I'll buy will likely either be the Walmart Everstart or an Interstate brand.
