Ya know, I hear this all the time. If you take your car to get the battery tested at AutoZone, chances are real good that you will be sold a new battery (even tho your battery may just need charging)...unless it is a AutoZone being presented for a warranty matter, then it is always "Just fine" and "you must have a charging problem."
Everyone needs to keep in mind that AutoZone SELLS PARTS for profit...they DO NOT REPAIR vehicles.
I don't know how many times I have had customers come in and say"AutoZone scanned my car and said I need an oxygen sensor and I would estimate that 95% of the time the codes had NOTHING to do with the o2 sensor, but that is about the only emission part they sell that fits the euro cars we service.
I guess it does get back to..."you get what you pay for" If you get it for free, you have gotten your monies worth!
