LISTERS:
WAL*MART "EVERSTART" BATTERIES ARE MANUFACTRED REGIONALLY. YOU MAY GET A
GNB (AKA "CHAMPION"), AN AC-DELCO, A JOHNSOM CONTROLS, OR ?????.
THE GOOD THING IS THAT THE WARRANTIES ARE GOOD AT ALL WAL-MARTS AND ALL OF
THE BATTERIES ARE GOOD QUALITY. THEY HAVE A NEW BATTERY CALLED THE MAXX
SERIES THAT IS A 3-YEAR FREE REPLACEMENT AND HAS DUAL TERMINALS. SHOULD BE
GREAT FOR CUCV'S AND M880'S, MAYBE OTHERS. THEY ARE NOT AS POWERFUL AS THE
EXTREME SERIES, THOUGH.
WAL*MART BATTERY CHARGERS ARE USUALLY SCHUMACHER AND VERY GOOD QUALITY.
