I use that on my riding mower and have to replace it every two years.
Yep typical Walmart garbage. I made the mistake once of getting an Everjunk battery it lasted about 3 seasons. Replaced that with an Interstate - at about almost 2 times the cost and it lasted for 12 seasons and was still working when I replaced it, just didn't want to push my luck.

Napa makes a really good deep cycle marine battery too.

Normally, I'd agree with you on Interstate, but the last two I got—one car, one tractor—were not awesome.

On the other hand, I put a Wal-Mart battery in my Escape, and it lasted longer than the factory one and a Tractor Supply tractor battery I got a few years ago is still going.

I'm feeling like it's purely luck-of-the-draw these days!
