The battery is shot in my moto Guzzi. Went out when I parked it last

to let it sit over the winter and get stale too. So I let it sit all
winter.

I noticed that Walmart had a fresh load of batteries on a pallet.
Brand new dated 2/18.Â*Â* That’s for me!

Had to go back to town this evening so I pulled the old battery for
core and away I went. Got it, installed it and here goes. Hit the
button and it fired right off. I could but a genuine Guzzi battery for
5 times as much and maybe get 3 years out of it. I’ve even thought of
a NiCd Battery , but those are ridiculously high.

So here I am back with El Cheapo.Â*Â* Life is good...




Wow. You spend $9 less onÂ* motorcycle batteries than I do on the
batteries for my lawn & garden tractor. Of course, I wouldn't buy
toothpaste from Walmart.



You think the Crest or Colgate sold at Walmart is different than
that sold anywhere else?
