  • New Free Battery

    I got into my car to go to work this morning and my battery was completely dead. I checked the headlights, nope, didn't leave them on. The doors were both closed, so the dome light didn't do it. I put the charger on, and it wouldn't take a charge, so I knew it was dead. On top of the battery it says "2 year free replacement"(Wal Mart battery - go ahead and raz me about buying a Wal Mart battery, I can take it). So I check the receipt in the little bag on the side, I bought it on 7-28-05, so my warranty expires in 2 days.

    I take the battery back and no hassles at all. They didn't have the same model, so I got to upgrade to the better one for $11.

    How sweet is that? Usually for me, things break right after the warranty expires, never before! I'm happy!

    As an added bonus, it's raining outside. We haven't had any rain for nearly two months. It's a desert outside. My next water bill is going to be $300-$400 dollars because we just put in sod and I have to water everyday. It's so dry that the lake and river level dropped so low, that there are litterally thousands of dead fish on the banks. It stinks really bad!

    It's a great day!

            Yeah, walmart batteries generally su .... aren't so good!
            But that warranty sure is nice!
            I have found that getting the biggest battery that will fit into the festy seems to help too!
            Never go by what the group size says.
            Been happy with my 875 CCA walmart battery, of course this is a warranty replacement too.
            The original lasted like 6 weeks, maybe less.
            But took it back and no questions asked!

              I have a Wally world battery in my red car. It went dead in January. I just left it, figured I would replace it this spring. But surprisingly it took a charge and has been holding it since June!

                I have never had any luck with the Walmart batteries .

                I usually spring for the free 3 year replacement one ,pro rated after the 3 for 7 years .

                But they usually go bad in 6 mos.
