Walmart’s store brand, Everstart, is known for its affordability in the lead-acid battery varieties. However, some buyers have reported issues with reliability and short lifespan. Nevertheless, Everstart has received positive reviews on Walmart’s website and offers a wide range of battery sizes.

Everstart’s Value line is designed to be a very low-cost battery that can get the job done in an emergency. The cold cranking amps may be lower compared to other batteries, for example, the Everstart Value Group 65 is rated at 650 CCA compared to the Maxx’s 850. Additionally, the warranty for the Value line is only for one year. However, most stores and online retailers offer a variety of group sizes for this line. If cost is the main concern, Everstart Value batteries are priced below a hundred dollars for most group sizes.

The Everstart Maxx battery is considered a good compromise between performance and price. It offers good value for the money spent. One notable advantage of the Everstart Maxx is its three-year warranty, which adds to its overall value. This warranty can be especially beneficial for those who live near a Walmart store, as exchanging a failed battery is as simple as visiting the store with the battery core and a receipt. However, this option only works if there is an Auto Center on-site to test the battery.

While Everstart does offer an AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) option, it is worth noting that most other brands on this list offer better alternatives at a similar price point.
