I think they have an internal self destruct system at 36 months... Store switched to Dekka so that is what i use now. I have batteries in 18 WHs Interstate batteries cost three times as much as they did 20 years ago and last half as long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sqrlgtr 236 #53 Posted November 9, 2020 (edited) Have a buddy that swears by the cheap wally word batteries,I don't lol...I have replaced 2 wally world batteries in the last 2 months with Die Hard (420 cca) from advance.They really turn over with authority now,a big difference compared to the cheaper EverStart's.Both tractors were S/G systems,a 701 and a 857.Now if they will last as good as they start I will be in business.If I had to buy another today it would be another Die Hard .BTW have had worse luck with interstate myself....
