Canadian Battery choices?
I went to drive my truck today after it sat for a week or two and it wouldn't start. I boosted it with my battery charger and got it going as I was in a rush and my wife had the car.
I watched the voltage using my EVO2 and it was at 14.1 - 13.8 the whole time once it was running and the glow plugs turned off. I got about 10 miles from home when the alternator light came on and the voltage dropped to 11.7. By the time I got home, battery voltage was at 11.2-11.3.
So obviously the alternator has taken a **** because of the dead batteries, and possibly caused them in the first place.
So I need to replace both factory batteries in my truck.
My major choices up here in Canada are:
Motomaster from Canadian Tire (114.99/ea, 850CCA)
Energizer from WalMart (103.99/ea, 850 CCA)
Exide from a smaller shop (??)
Does anyone know if the warranty from Walmart is good in Canada AND the US? I do some traveling with the truck, so that may work out better for me if they are a quality unit.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
