EverStart Plus vs Value vs Maxx
Over Value, Plus mostly gains reserve capacity, the minutes your car can run on the battery alone. Maxx is where the big jump in cranking amps happens.

EverStart Plus Battery Warranty
Two years of free replacement from the day you buy. Here’s how to get the most out of that window.
Walmart’s Plus listings carry a 2-year free replacement. If the battery fails a test inside that window, the store swaps it at no cost. After two years there’s no free swap, and the battery is yours to replace.
Owners describe quick counter swaps when the paperwork is in order. Keep the receipt, and leave the top label and barcode on the battery.
- Day you buyKeep the receipt or Walmart.com order with the car’s papers. The clock starts today.
- Around month 18Check the resting voltage or ask for a load test. A healthy battery reads about 12.6 volts after sitting.
- Before month 24If it’s slow to crank or tests weak, take it in while the free replacement still applies.
- After two yearsNo free swap. One forum owner’s Plus died about a week past the window, so don’t wait for a no-start.
EverStart Plus Battery Reviews
What owners on the BobIsTheOilGuy forum say about Plus batteries and the warranty behind them.
An EverStart Plus bought in 2017 died about a week after its 2-year warranty ended.
His EverStart failed after about 4 months. Walmart swapped it at the counter without a test, and the barcode on the battery stood in for a receipt.
Says Walmart honors battery warranties without much trouble and is the easiest place he has dealt with.
EverStart Plus Battery FAQ
What is the EverStart Plus battery warranty?
EverStart Plus car batteries carry a 2-year free replacement warranty from the purchase date.
Is EverStart Plus better than Value?
Yes, in most sizes. Plus has more reserve capacity, often a bit more CCA, and twice the free replacement period.
Is EverStart Plus an AGM battery?
No. Plus is flooded lead acid. For AGM, look at EverStart Platinum AGM.
What does the 96R in EverStart Plus 96R mean?
96R is the BCI group size. The R means the terminals are reversed compared with a standard Group 96 layout, so the cables reach the right posts.
Is EverStart Plus good for cold weather?
It meets the factory CCA on most cars. If you see long stretches below freezing, the extra cranking amps of EverStart Maxx give you more margin, for example 850 CCA vs 750 CCA in Group 65.
