FAQ

What types of batteries are best suited for various vehicles?

Selecting the right battery for your vehicle is crucial for optimal performance. Here's a breakdown of common battery types:

  • Car Batteries: Typically 12-volt batteries used in standard vehicles.
  • Truck Batteries: Larger and more powerful, designed for heavy-duty trucks.
  • Motorcycle Batteries: Generally smaller, available in 12-volt or 6-volt options for motorcycles.
  • Lawn Mower Batteries: Usually 12-volt, but some models may require 6-volt batteries.
  • Marine Batteries: Specifically designed for boats, available in deep cycle or starting options.
  • ATV and UTV Batteries: Built to withstand rugged off-road conditions.

Always refer to your vehicle's manual for specific battery recommendations to ensure compatibility and performance.

What steps should I take to identify the right battery size for my lawn mower?

To find the right battery size for your lawn mower, follow these steps:

  • Check the Owner's Manual: This document usually contains the specific battery size and type needed.
  • Determine Battery Voltage: Most lawn mowers operate on 12-volt batteries, while some may use 6-volt.
  • Measure the Battery Compartment: If the manual is not available, measuring the compartment can help ensure a proper fit.
  • Consult Retail Staff: Many retailers can assist you in selecting the correct battery based on your mower's specifications.
  • Consider Amp Hour Ratings: A higher amp hour rating can lead to longer operation times.

By following these guidelines, you can select the appropriate battery for your mower.

What advantages do AGM batteries offer compared to traditional batteries?

Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) batteries provide several benefits over conventional lead-acid batteries:

  • Low Maintenance: AGM batteries are sealed, which means no need for water refills.
  • Enhanced Durability: They are built to withstand vibrations and perform well in tough conditions.
  • Faster Charging: AGM batteries recharge quickly, reducing downtime.
  • Longer Lifespan: Their design and lower self-discharge rates often lead to a longer operational life.
  • Improved Safety: AGM batteries are less likely to leak and can be installed in various orientations without risk.

These features make AGM batteries a favored option for automotive, marine, and recreational applications.

What practices can help extend the life of deep cycle batteries?

To maintain deep cycle batteries effectively and prolong their lifespan, consider these practices:

  • Regular Charging: Keep your battery charged, especially after heavy use, and avoid discharging it below 50%.
  • Clean Terminals: Regularly inspect and clean battery terminals to prevent corrosion, which can affect performance.
  • Monitor Water Levels: For flooded lead-acid batteries, check the electrolyte levels and top up with distilled water as necessary.
  • Proper Storage: Store batteries in a cool, dry place and charge them periodically to prevent sulfation during periods of inactivity.
  • Inspect for Damage: Regularly check for signs of swelling, leaks, or cracks, and replace the battery if needed.

Following these practices can help ensure the reliability and efficiency of your deep cycle batteries.

What is the best way to dispose of old batteries responsibly?

Proper disposal of old batteries is essential for environmental safety. Here are some steps to follow:

  • Understand Local Regulations: Familiarize yourself with local laws regarding battery disposal.
  • Use Recycling Centers: Find nearby recycling centers or collection events that accept batteries. Many retailers may also offer recycling programs.
  • Avoid Regular Trash: Never dispose of batteries in household waste, as they can leak harmful substances.
  • Secure Transportation: When transporting batteries for disposal, ensure they are secured to prevent leaks or damage.
  • Explore Battery Exchange Programs: Some retailers may provide trade-in options for old batteries when purchasing new ones.

By adhering to these steps, you can dispose of old batteries in an environmentally responsible manner.

About Batteries and Battery Accessories - Walmart.com

Stay powered on with essential car batteries

Your car's engine may run on gas but its electrical components, including the headlights, interior electronics and turn signal lights, run off a battery. When your car's battery is old, drained or otherwise not working properly, you may experience problems ranging from a sluggish engine start to leaking battery acid or a "check engine" light on your dashboard.

Whether you're performing routine maintenance or trying to quickly solve an unexpected battery problem, Walmart has the supplies you need to get the job done at Every Day Low Prices. Walmart's automotive department offers a variety of car battery options in different sizes and voltages in addition to useful battery-related accessories such as portable battery chargers, jumper cables and charging system monitors.

Many of the batteries and accessories are available with free two-day shipping or same-day in-store pickup so you can quickly get your car or truck back up and running.

Other options

Car and truck batteries aren't the only vehicle battery options available. You can a find a variety of battery options for other vehicles, adding convenience and efficiency to your shopping experience. You don't have to look anywhere else for your vehicle battery shopping needs.

  • Marine batteries: From small motor boats to large yachts, we offer batteries that can suit a large variety of boat types and sizes in a range of different voltages, amperages and dimensions. We also offer both lead acid and lithium-ion marine batteries, giving you the ability to choose just the right replacement for your boat. Some of these batteries are also designed for crossover use with recreational vehicles (RV).

  • Lawn and garden batteries: Though they usually aren't as large as a car battery, lawnmowers and other lawn equipment have batteries that need to be replaced periodically. Our assortment of lawn and garden batteries includes those for both riding and walking electric lawn mowers. Batteries come from a range of different manufacturers, including Snapper, Black & Decker, Sears, Yard Man and Toro.

  • Power sport batteries: Motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and snowmobiles need batteries, too, and we've got a great selection of batteries that are specially made for these power sport vehicles.

Replacing your car battery

In most cases, a car battery should be properly disposed of and replaced with a brand-new battery after three years of use. If your battery is three years old or older and you're experiencing issues like sluggish engine ignition or a complete electrical failure caused by a dead battery, it's worth it to simply replace the old model rather than trying to jump start or charge.

In some cases, your car's battery may need to be replaced sooner. For example, if your battery is being drained by a faulty electrical component in the car's audio system, that could lead to the need for early replacement. Multimeters and other battery testers can tell you when your battery is nearing the end of its lifespan, but you can also err on the side of caution and opt for replacement if you know your battery is nearing the three year mark or if you have some sort of electrical system issue that's causing a drain. Recommended replacement times for other vehicle battery types may vary.

Battery selection assistance

While you can often determine what kind of battery to buy for your vehicle by looking at what's currently under the hood, that's not always sufficient. If you aren't sure what kind of replacement battery you need for a given car, truck, lawnmower, boat or power sport vehicle, Walmart offers assistance both online and in store.

Our online Walmart Battery Finder tool allows you to input information like vehicle type, make, model and engine type to determine the right battery match for your needs. It's a simple way to ensure you don't accidentally pick out the wrong battery, which can actually be dangerous to install.
