The chances are that at some point you will have to change the battery in your car. Some people are unaware that there’s a hidden charge when purchasing a new battery, known as the core charge.
The specifics of this charge can vary across retailers – so how does Walmart handle it? Here’s everything you need to know about Walmart’s battery core charge policies:
Walmart’s core charge program for battery recycling allows customers the opportunity to send in old car batteries. It can be displayed on receipts as a “Merchandising Cost”. Customers can return a vehicle battery bought from Walmart in-store for a refund of $5-20 or cash credit.

If I want to buy new batteries, what is the Walmart battery core price?
When buying a brand new battery from Walmart the receipt that shows the battery core charge will be displayed.
It may not be listed in the specific listing, but it is sometimes found under the “Merchandising Fees” heading.
You will need to pay a fee of between $5-20 depending on where you live.
Are there any refunds for core Walmart batteries?
If you bring your used battery to Walmart, your core charge should be returned.
But, it could depend on whether your old battery was bought at Walmart and if you still have proof of purchase.
State laws on core charge are varied so it’s worth calling Walmart to verify if the store allows you to swap out your old batteries from other stores.
How can I request a refund for the Walmart core charge battery?
Take your receipt and old Walmart car battery to customer service.
After scanning the receipt, the amount will be returned. This can be given back to your credit or cash.
You may not receive a refund for your battery core charge if you don’t have the receipt or you did not buy the old battery from Walmart. It all depends on what policy the store has, which could vary state-to-state.
EverStart Batteries may be an exception. Since these batteries are Walmart-branded and covered by the Walmart warranty it might be possible to have an employee use the serial number on the battery to locate details regarding its purchase.
To learn more, you can also see my full guide on the Walmart battery return policy, as your car battery may be eligible for a full refund or replacement.
Walmart adds a Battery Core Charge to all Car Battery Purchases. This charge is generally quite cheap, and it can be fully refundable provided that the battery has been returned to Walmart by the end of its useful life.
However, if you lose the receipt or bought your old battery somewhere other than Walmart, you should check with your local store whether you can trade it in for a core charge refund.
