RV Deep Cycle Battery
I have a DEKA DC24 12 volt batter in trailer right now that is 7 years old and getting weak. Has anyone had good luck going with the Walmart Deep Cycle Battery. They would be easy to replace if go bad...

So, as I understand it, Walmart goes out and purchases 100,000 batteries from one of the few wholesale battery manufacurers and then put their name on it and the label creates an inferior battery. Why don't they try another label? :?
Maybe they ask for the cheapest 100,000 batteries that can be produced. I've had 4 in a row practically destroy the battery areas in two different vehicles. I've had testing done, alternators replaced, battery trays repaired, and windshield washer pumps replaced from the damage caused by spillage from Walmarts best batteries. NEVER AGAIN!
SOunds like a complete lack of maintenance to me. If you have battery juices running and ruining your equipment , Should have run the test first. Over charging from a bad ground or similar problem can lead you to a lot of problems. Don't blame the battery or the seller. I have worked with trucks, pickups and cars for over 50 years.
MY 2 cents
If you don't like the message, blame the messenger. One of the vehicles is 34 years old and has had excellent maintenance; it still looks and runs great since I got rid of the junk batteries. Some folks claim 50 years of experience, but it is only 1 year repeated 50 times.
