Have any on here used Walmart EverStart marine and rv batteries? I looked at the 27DC model. It has the words 750 MCA written on the side.

The issue with EverStart batteries is they are a retailer brand name, not a manufacture brand. So, who makes it can vary based on who is contracted to make the battery. The quality of one manufacture may be poor where the quality of another is good. You could even buy two of the same batteries at the same time and they are made by two different manufactures depending on the manufacturing date. As a result, reviews need to be examined to see if the grouping of negatives or positives are based around the actual manufacture; often corresponding to purchase year.

With that said, WalMart's EverStart are sold as dual starting/deep cycle although one group is actually a truer deep cycle versus the other. As mentioned the ones listed with the alpha code DC are actual deep cycle where the the dual purpose is listed as MS for Marine - Starting. The DC should also specifically state can be used for trolling where the MS probably omits that statement. One item that has been consistently reported is if possible, get the EverStart MAXX DC AGM's. These most likely have to be ordered for pickup at the store, but for the few dollars more, they have a much higher rating for deep cycle use and quality.
