    I bough two of these for a pair of Polaris Scrambler 500 ATV’s. One batter lasted 4 years the other lasted 5 years. I did not take very good care of them the last two years. Just purchased another one as I sold the other ATV. Will see how long this one lasts if taken care of reasonably.

    I bought this for my 2004 Polaris 500 ATP. I’ve had it two years. I use a battery maintainer on it when my WHEELER sits for a month or so. It’s a great battery. I would recommend it.

    worked great for 2 winters starting my quad for ice fishing but now on the 3rd winter its not able to turn over my quad even though the batter is fully charged (tried multiple chargers). I did neglect the battery from April to December, maybe if i would have maintained it it wouldn’t have died? idk… Purchased another one since they are reasonably priced.

Excellent
Mighty Max Battery
Based on 3474 reviews
Arrived quickly. Even got a sticker with it.
Solid looking battery, came well packaged. Have used their battery before for my lawnmower and now looking forward to see how it lasts in my snowmobile.
I can't believe it less than 48hrs since I ordered from Walmart and it's in the machine. What more can I say except great price.
Thanks Larry
Item as described and perfect fit and arrived on time
Battery arrived in a good shape package strait to my door steps
Arrived just in time to power my generator here in the cold Maine winters. Excellent service!
Arrived quickly from WALMART.COM. Perfect size and proper placement in my generator. Installation was easy. Generator fired right up. Battery came fully charged.
New battery. Ready for cold weather!
So far these Might Max batteries are good but it’s only the first day and they were on charge for 12 hrs. I’ll have to come back and do an update at some point in time. Ordered them on Amazon and got them the next day. I was encouraged by Mighty Max to make this google review and post pictures to extend my warranty for 3 months but there is no way to post pictures 🤣🤣🤣 It’s been a few months and I was able to go back and edit, so here is a video I made, the rest of the photos I have deleted. Batteries are still going strong. Update 12-11-2025
They arrived within 2 days of ordering them packaging was really good I haven't put them in my MX350 yet I hit them with my multi meter fresh out of the box and got 12.4v on both batteries so that is good
