Default Re: Replacement Battery

Not Crossfire related but just this past weekend, the Group 58 Super Start Premium battery (2-Yr Replacement Warranty) in my 1995 Jeep Wrangler Rio Grande failed. Per my battery tester it showed just barely over 8 volts & tester said to replace it. I bought this battery from nearby O'Reilly's Auto Parts store. Bought the battery back in SEP/2021, so it was covered under full replacement warranty of 2 years. Took it back up to O'Reilly's store, they tested the battery & confirmed the low voltage (same value my tester showed), pulled a replacement battery from rack & apologized for the poor battery life. I left with a new battery at no cost. In all the years I've been driving & replacing batteries in the various cars I've owned, this was the first time I've ever replaced a defective car battery under warranty. (Note: The replacement battery is covered by the original warranty period so I've only got another 4 months of full replacement warranty on the new battery. Retailers don't ever want to have to replace more than 1 battery under warranty!)
