[V8] Battery question

[Seamus O'Carey]

It's surprising to hear you've had good results with Wal-Mart (EverStart)
batteries.  My personal experience has been that they can't handle going
dead even once.  If my EverStart batteries ever go dead I end up having to
take them back to Wal-Mart where they put the tester on it.  The tester
always says to "charge and retest", so I have to wait for the charge to
finish at which point the retest always says "replace battery".  I've never
owned an EverStart battery out of warranty, though, because they're always
dead before it expires and Wal-Mart gives me a new battery and the warranty
starts over.  I haven't paid for one in almost 10 years.
