I'd bet a lot of consumers might just dump the old dead battery in the trash after they find out Walmart won't accept it as a core.įortunately, the core was from my other vehicle.

Plus, it leaves customers with forty pounds of lead and no good place to return it. Why should it have had a Walmart branded battery in it? I'd call this a racket just to jack up the cost of the batteries by another $9 without showing it in the advertised price. My vehicle is seven years old, and the battery in it was factory original. I was shocked, and tried to explain to them that core fees don't work that way. Has anybody else experienced this treatment or know if this is actual policy at Walmart?Ĭlick to expand.I did, just a few hours ago. We got the $5 core charge back in cash and left. Well, we had a line of about 10 anxious/impatient people behind us and I guess the girl didn't want to get into it for $5 so she called her manager- who never answered his phone- then she said "OK I'll take it back this time- but next time it has to be a Walmart brand battery". When I put the old (NAPA brand) battery up on the counter for the core return the customer svc rep said "sorry- we only accept Walmart brand batteries back for the cores".

We had to buy the new battery (and return the core) at the Customer Service counter because there was nobody in the automotive department last Sunday afternoon- as was confirmed by several employees. I brought the old battery with me so I'd get the $5 core charge back when we bought the new battery.
