Actually the H8 battery at both Costco and Walmart is $179 not $250. The Walmart battery is warranted for 48 months, the Costco for 36 months.
I agree about the weight of the AGM H8: to solve that problem the $179 at Walmart includes installation!
Hope this helps:

Apologies to the OP for the hijacking of his thread. I hope @Frenetic got his questions answered before this thread was taken off into K-mart world as it was not my intention to have a debate about batteries.
It appears the discussion has now evolved into a COST evaluation. The logic required for this decision has left the chat.
Spend 6 figures on a car and make efforts to find the cheapest K-mart quality battery you can buy and call it a win....GENIUS
You say hey, 12V is 12V right? Any K-mart 12V battery will work, besides...it has a warranty LOL
If cost is the driving issue, then just go to a junk yard and buy a used battery out of a wrecked car. They have tons of them and they are $50 each. And YES, they have a warranty as the date code is stamped on the battery case so you can feel good about your purchase.

If the name Everstart bothers you, you can always pay more for a US made identical battery with a different name - or have your dealer install a German battery at almost triple the cost. For me that is not an efficient use of my money.
