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.

There isn't that much difference between a motorcycle battery and a
lawn tractor battery, in fact the battery for a "kicker" is smaller.
I am also not sure why Walmart bothers you so much. In the retail
world, they treat their employees as well as most and far better than
some, particularly "mom and pop".
The toothpaste is certainly the same and close to half of what Publix
gets for it. I get a 2 pack of Crest for about what Publix charges for
one tube. I will admit about all I buy from Walmart is toiletries,
batteries and dog stuff.
