The battery is shot in my moto Guzzi. Went out when I parked it last
November. It came from Walmart too and didn?t have but about 6 months
in it. I probably could have taken it in and got another but no need
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. 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. Life is good...

Wow. You spend $9 less on 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?

Don't you know? Walmart gets theirs from Chinese slave labor camps but
if you go to Giant it is all union made in a boutique factory in
Connecticut. That is why it costs twice as much.

In many cases, products are made especially for walmart and tend to be
chintzier than the products carried by other stores. I doubt if this
applies to toothpaste, though.

That was Sears MO. Look where Sears is today. What brick and
morter retailer is larger than Walmart?

I'm supposed to care about the semi-thoughts that plague your pea-sized
brain?
