I just replaced the battery in my 2002 with an
Everstart Maxx 94R from. Walmart. Looks
identical to the Jag battery I took out. It has
a CCA rating of 735 vs 650 of the Jag battery.
It is made by Johnson Controls and has a
3 year FULL replacement warrenty and
NINE years pro rated. Price....$77!

 

Oh, and I hooked up my battery charger to the
battery cables while changing it. No lost
settings or wierd problems from no power
to the modules in the car!

 

That's smart, I had not thought of that. Good news on the battery too.

 

Going to go and Pick one up tommorrow

 

How is the new battery working out for you? My battery may be on its last legs - need to check it soon. Can't go wrong with $77!

 

I guess that all Walmarts have different prices..My local walmart wanted $138...I got a battery from my local car place..a Interstate...slightly better figures, but it cost $150. Walmart said that the only place to honor the warrentee is a walmart...not even a Sams. Interstate is all over the place, so the $18 I could have saved isn't as important as the handy service if something goes wrong...But at $77, I would have taken my chances. At walmart they sell,in the auto department, the gadget that goes into your lighter, and keeps the settings..I got one for $4.50...Just remember that you MUST have the key in the accessory position before you disconnect the battery. I did it, and it kept all settings.

 

After being on vacation for a couple weeks my car battery died (it was about time anyway, as I haven't replaced the battery since I bought the car in 2005). I picked up the Everstart Maxx 94R from Walmart for $82. Autozone quoted me $190 for a Duralast; so I took a chance on the Everstart.

So far so good.....

 

Nothing wrong with Everstart unless you don't like saving money. That quote from Autozone it way out in left field, that's 40 bucks more than a Jag battery from a dealer.

 

Interesting on the Everstart. Never even heard of them. My car is taking a couple seconds of cranking before it starts up...not good in this winter weather! Sounds like a good time to get a new battery.
