It depends on where you live too. Around here wal mart batteries are made by exide.
 
They used to be made by Exide here, but they've switched to Johnson Controls as of about July. A press release by Johnson Controls says that they are now the sole supplier to Wal-Mart for car batteries.
 
The only problem with Walmart Everstart Maxx batteries is the warranty is 3 years free replacement, no more 8-9 pro-rate. While the others have 2-3 years free replacement plus some pro-rate up to 8-9 years.
 
My 2 Walmart's both have 3 year free replacement posted at the top of the shelf of the Maxx batteries. Asked them, they said the battery manufacture (Johnson Controls) drops the pro-rate to keep the price low.
