Battery maintainers...

[Uncle Gump]

I've been through all of that and have drawn my conclusion.

My minimum use and history of short trips... coupled with the questionable quality of current day batteries... has me replacing my battery annually.

I'm gonna give a maintainer a try and see if i can get a battery to last close to its warranty period.

I've kept my crawler rig on a maintainer all the time for many years. The battery that's in it now is a Duralast Platinum AGM that I bought in 2012... have a couple of other normal lead acid batteries that are nearing 10 years old too. Maintainers flat out work.

Walmart has some decent battery warranty stuff going on.. super cheap batteries too. The fancier the battery the longer the warranty is... But I bought their bottom of the barrel 70$ battery for an old Cadillac I owned a couple years ago and it came with a year warranty..

Not that great of a warranty no... But well under half the price of the same group size battery from crapa
