This is Wal-Mart, it's not a high end battery wholesaler. They don't care
about customer service. They sell special batteries that are designed to be
as cheap as possible and look like standard commercial batteries but aren't.

Another interesting thing.

I noticed a while back that a roll of Gorilla Tape was 50 cents cheaper
at Home Depot than at Walmart.

But today i was looking for Mopar Automatic Transmission Fluid+4.** I
found few listings for it, but one was in West Chester Pa., not far from
me, for 7 dollars a quart. Walmart had a 3rd party vendor whose location
I could not determine for $12.17 a quart. !!

So my point is that like other stores that emphasize price, once they
convince people that they are cheaper than other places, they don't have
to be cheaper anymore, and sometimes are much more expensive.

Mopar® Part # at
Quadratic: 68218057AA at 7.00
Walmart: .68218057AB, at 12.17 so the B must cost $5.17!!
Amazon: 5013457AA at 11.64
OEM Part Number 05013457AA
Item model number 68218057AA
Manufacturer Part # 68218057AA so it's the same thing too.

I wonder what a Chrysler dealer would charge.

Neither Mopar ad at Quatdratic or Walmart says it's synthetic, like
Pennzoil and Castrol say on the bottle, though Amazon lets you enlarge
the picture of the bottle and see that it does say synthetic.

**Separate question: Is this any better for a Chrysler than Pennzoil or
Castrol, the only two brands other than house brands that I can walk in
and buy at the 3 stores just down the street from me?

Somehow I have the feeling that Castrol isn't really a top-notch brand,
but I can't remember why I think that.
