I don't want to start a keyboard war here, but I have a battery question.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.Thanks....

Blazing,That is a hybrid battery and cycle depth is only about 25% for long life.If you always go to powered campsites it will work ok. But for boondocking it is pretty much a "feather weight".

Batteries designed to start a motor and to provide deep discharges for the RV house do neither well.

Per my conversation with one of the technical people at Johnson controls who make the EverStart batteries for Walmart the 27DC battery is a true deep cycle battery. For some reason Walmart wanted the cold cranking specification added to the information on the battery so Johnson Controls put it on there. During my conversation the same person told me that the Everstart 27MS was the marine starting hybrid battery.This is the same for the group 24 and the group 32 batteries. If it has DC in the battery number it is a true deep cycle battery. If it has MS in the battery number then it is a marine starting hybrid battery. Unless they lied and are making the same identical battery and putting DC on one and MS on the other.

I have been using them for years for my RV and boat trolling motor. I get 5-6 years out of them with proper care

I have had a group 32 DC from Walmart for over a year and so far so good. I would buy again.

Been using Walmart's MAXX batteries in all my vehicles

Don't care if it's right or wrong

I have used the Everstart Maxx 27 DC and have gotten good service out of them. But since I went to a Trojan Group 27 AGM, their is no comparison. The Trojan being a true deep cycle battery.

what were the amp hour ratings of them? were they both the same price? are you comparing apples to oranges? what disqualified the everstarts as not being "true"?

In my area the choice is easy;

Trojan Group 27 AGM (87 ahr) is CDN$429

Wally-World EverStart Group 27 (80 ahr) is CDN$129

Boy is this fun….

All I know is I had two original 6V batteries in my 2002 Challenger that were 8 yrs old and getting marginal. Replaces them and on newer coaches with GC110 batteries and have never worried about them.

I like KISS.
