Er, ah, Johnson Controls makes batteries for Walmart's Everstart brand. Yuasa makes the small lead acid batteries, on of the best battery companies on the planet. Big batteries are too heavy to ship from Asia, so they contract Johnson Controls to make them. Johnson Controls is the biggest lead-acid battery manufacturer left in the USA. Like all manufacturers, Johnson can make batteries to attain any price point specified. Walmart tells them what they want to pay for a battery, and Johnson supplies it. The best way to compare the quality of flooded lead acid deep cycle batteries is to weigh them. There are other minor things that do make a difference, but weight is by far the most important factor. Weigh a Lifeline group 27, a Rolls goup 27, and a Walmart group 27 and see if there is a difference. There is a reason that Walmart batteries lose capacity so quickly. |
