| Anyone used an Everstart 96R from Walmart? Specs look same as Group 42 which is currently installed |

| I've used one before in a Beetle, it didn't last more than a couple years. |

More like NeverStart.
I had one that lasted about 9 months, got another under warranty & that one made it another 8 months. |

| I've got the second one in my bug. Comes with a 3 year warranty. They last 3 years, 3 months. Next time I'm going to spend the extra $ and get Interstate. |

Was just going to say, I've used EverStarts with no real issues, even the cheaper priced "Value Start" reconditioned Ever Start, no complaints, BUT if I had the choice I'd go with an Interstate. |

| I've had a group 96 silver advanced auto battery in my daily driver for over three years now and 27k+ miles. Still cranking strong. |

| Forgot to reply…I did get the Interstate 96R for my 73’. It works fine. Fits just like a 42. $104 plus core at Costco |

| Alternate battery sizes batteries instead of Group 42: 96R and 47/H5 even have recessed terminals, which is a bonus on our cars (96R includes a cover as well) 24F is said to work, group 58R battery too. I have 26R from Walmart in my 1970. |
