[QUOTE="bAcKpAiN, post: 137204, member: 169"] I agree with what you are saying... to a point. Walmart has also made their own bed to some degree and are making the consumer pay for it. I went to three different Walmart stores yesterday looking for 2 of the max series in size 27 or 29. In looking at no less than 30 batteries there was only ONE that was made in 2010. The rest dated all the way back to the mid 90's up to late 2008. It isn't just the consumer that neglects the batteries. It is the retailers themselves that often ruin the batteries with neglect long before a consumer even touches it. Thus why I will never buy a battery at Walmart again. I purchased my last pair of batteries at Walmart and ended up having to use the warranty on both of them within 6 months, and that is with using a Guest onboard charger plugged in 24/7 when I wasn't fishing.
