So here's the deal. Yesterday when I went to start the truck, the batteries were dead. The charger
said they were at 49% charged. They did take a charge and started the truck easily several times
since.

However, they are four year-old WalMart batteries, so I'm thinking I should replace them. You've
praised AGM batteries in the past. Sears has these:

The guy will sell them to me for $176.99 plus $40 installation (which I could do myself if I didn't
want to help Trump's employment numbers). And, being ex-military, he'll give me another 10% off. So
I could get them for about $160 each.

Thoughts? I could get the non-AGM's for about $40 less each. Are AGM's worth the extra bucks?

I usually just get the regular 2 year Walmart battery. Some will go 6
or 7 years. Others crap out before the 2 years is up. That is better
because they just give you a new one.

This is the one I use in everything (it even fits the Honda)
It is bigger than the one that came with any of them but it fits in
the box. (Group 24F)
