Depends on the application too. Did replace the battery in a 2010 Chevy Truck and put in a good 130 amp AC Delco battery due to he goes out hunting at times.His went dead overnight and there was not enough out of the old battery
Just replaced battery in my wife’s car , 36 month Walmart battery lasted 48 months, I was going to get an oreilly battery it was 219 with core, got a better battery at Walmart 48 month AGM for 179. A friend has a ford escape and the tire stores wouldn’t replace his battery so he went to the dealer and got an AGM 465 dollars
I actually have good luck with cheap batteries. Walmart value brand, I have seen 3-4 years and still going strong. I buy the freshest and charge fully before install. Might make a difference? I am also Midwest in the north. I know extreme heat is not good on batteries
Torqued at 40 TH-cam foot-pounds. Super flex action on the GearWrench. How did you ever get this job done without a Snap-On tool? ha ha Awesome video Jimmy. Another vehicle make I'll never buy.
It would appear that the Mobile Mechanic who installed the alternator did not tighten the electrical connection that melted. He was competent enough to replace the alt., but he just couldn't cross the finish line. It seems like a fuse would give way before the alternator. However, I work under a shade tree.
With a battery named "ECONOcraft" did they think they were going to get quality? lol
lol

Yeah when they go bad it can be a sudden thing, like someone flipped a switch. Nice work.

Yeah there have been big price increases and sometimes the cheaper batteries last ok. But most of the time we replace them early.
My JF EGWO stays on until you finish its a 6000 has a lite and small compressor had about a year still works great
That is awesome!
Interesting video Jimmy. Thanks 👍 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Peter!

Very true! The main fuse for these is about 120 amps. Makes a big crack when they pop! :)
The Econocraft battery is a sure sign of another quality repair by the Autozone Mobile Auto Assassin.
