We all know that. I look at the core as a credit against the purchase price. A discount of sorts. To avoid it, I usually take a dud along with me and keep a dud on hand just for that purpose. One problem though. I've become so good at reviving old batteries that I have a few old batteries that all load like new or nearly so! Now I don't expect anybody to believe me either, but it is true. Former battery warehouse manager, reconditioner, rebuilder. I suspect though they lack reserve capacity so good for starting your boat or car, but maybe not so good for your trolling motor. For the record Walmart batteries are made by Clarios, formerly Johnson Controls, formerly Globe Union. These IMO are the best wet cells on the market and you can't beat Wallyworld's price. Clarios also makes Interstate and Die Hard among many others.</p></blockquote><p></p>
