I'm sure everyone's had the same thing happened you go out to the car and click click click nothing no go go.
I remember buying my last battery three years and four months ago and shopping at Costco then seeing them at Home Depot and going wow look at this they say 40 month free replacement and it's cheaper.
Well I'm not the best with batteries it's not like I leave my lights on all the time but I do have an amplifier/boom box that easy to forget cuz it's hardwired to the battery, I've left it on several times and run the battery completely flat.
Well that didn't happen this time but it was two weeks since I've driven the car.
It wouldn't hold a charge and I had forgotten what it said on the side of the battery but took it in the Home Depot anyway and under close inspection was pleasant to read free replacement warranty printed on the case .
Most every other battery I had has been have been prorated when it fails and I end up getting $12 or $15 after a huge amount of trouble returning a battery.
They didn't even press me for a receipt but I said I'd be happy to go home and look through my credit card bills for a free battery. They said take a new battery thank you very much. Costco does not carry group 24 batteries anymore from what I can tell since they changed the Interstate brand but the good news is Interstate has changed their battery containers away from the white plastic and Green Top. Its still a little less expensive at Home Depot and you can't beat that free replacement without being prorated.
