I heard from my good friend & mechanic that the cheapo Walmart batteries are actually reused lead innards. Not a melt down and recast lead but actual old plates just being reused.

He claims that is why they crap out so soon.

He said any Interstate Battery guy will confirm this. That was his source and the line he sells.

I have many of the Interstate brand in all my vehicles now and I do have to admit they are good indeed.
