I just went in two Walmart Supercenters here in Tyler and there's not a single Everstart marine battery in either one. Got home and looked at Walmart online and all their Everstart deep cycle batteries are out of stock.
Anyone heard what is going on?

Brenham store showed 0 inventory as did every other store in Houston area. I called store, and they have 3 in stock. Makes no sense to me why all stores show no inventory.

So much about buying their batteries and if one goes bad there is always a Walmart store to replace them.

Months ago I checked online and saw the same thing. The store had them but not a full inventory. Not sure what the issue is but it had been going on for a while.

Plenty of Everstart batteries in Dallas. I use nothing but Walmart. I took one in yesterday that had gone bad. I bought it 1 1/2 yrs ago at a different Walmart. I did not have a receipt. They scanned it, told me to get another one just like it and said thanks for the business. No charge! GO WALLYWORLD

That's typical. Earlier this year I had to call about 8 stores in central Arkansas to find one that had the series 29's I was looking for. The online inventory said that most of those 8 stores had some in stock. The store I got them from showed zero in-stock online.
I saw several series 29's on the shelf at my local store a couple days ago.

I stopped using Walmart batteries when they changed their return policy. I've been using Exide's from Academy. No problems and plenty of availability at all their stores if needed.

Give the Continental store in Tyler a call. They sell Trojan batteries, I have used them and they are good batteries. Better than the WM batteries.

If there are two brands I won't buy they are Exide and Continental. I've tried both over the years. I also have four Optimas I bought several years ago. Never again. I'm not going to spend that kind of money on a battery that doesn't perform any better than a Walmart battery that costs 1/3 to 1/4 as much.

I got 2 29's over a month ago at Brenham walmart. I had heard Walmart was going to stop selling marine batteries, so I ask the guy, he said he hasn't heard that. Not sure! Jasper Walmart had some that next week

Costco...if your a member. They just opened one up by us and the Guy working the battery section said they have no way to check the batteries....so a couple months before the warranty runs out, take it back and get a new one.
