I would get the Walmarts too, but found some at Sams with 850cc for $55 a peice. either way they both have a 3 year warranty. works for me and saves money for other fun things that make the truck go Zoom. lol

This might be pure luck, but a buddy of mine put 2 refurbished batteries at 25.00 ea in his 7.3L 8 yrs ago and they still work fine.
The charging system on these trucks are marginal at best.
I had my alt rebuilt to 180A and so far good as gold.
Before that I would run a 2A manual charge for at least 8 hrs. overnight once a month to keep them "topped off" and that helped a ton.

Where is everyone finding these batteries at Wal-Mart that have 850 or more cca? I was there this past weekend and they didn't have any batteries with more than 700 cca and those were the ones that their book said were for our trucks. Are these the yellow Ever-Start batteries?
