| Years ago I remember that buying a battery got you a 2-part warranty. There was an initial replacement period followed by a pro-rated period. Is that still the case? |

It’s been this way for years even that old dinosaur sears did it like that. Here’s another stunner, tires have warranty that is prorated too. I got some money back on set that didn’t go the 80k as advertised. |

Yes, we recently replaced the battery in our modern car and it would have been pro-rated if the complete warranty period had not expired... which is rare for AZ, batteries wear out quickly here from the heat. |

| I get my 12v batteries at the local junkyard. $43 exchange with a full 1 year warranty. If it takes a dump, they will replace it with some other random battery, not pro-rated BS. They work until they don't and then I go buy another used one. That way I am not supporting any of the retailers y'all have had bad experiences with. Plus I get to feel like I am being green with the ten cars I drive. |

It’s such a small cost of ownership of running a car it’s not worth the posts about it.
Three year life worst case , $50 per year ?
Have a good 10 amp charger and a maintainer for a light used car and it’s a 5 year battery, $30 per year
