I knew I'd have to replace it when I replaced the other, but I waited.

That'll teach you to replace them in pairs from now on.

Sure did! Close to $250 in batteries is a hard pill to swallow, though.

Did you shop around?

When I bought the truck, I really needed the new batteries, jumped into O'Reilly and ended up buying the first. I didn't want mis-matched batteries, so I got the second there too.

It was kinda a quick buy.

Keep your receipts from O'Reillys I have dealt with them on batteries and they will try to get out of replacement.

Hmm. The guy I deal with (Bought from him quite a few times) put emphasis on the warranty. I've got both receipts filed away now, next to my service record, which has some new notes on it.

They were down the road. I needed a battery.

I can't remember for sure, but I think you're pretty close.

well good news is they are made by Deka.... one of the top battery companies... ask Duncan... he loves them...


and the O'reilly's battery is whats in the Exploder....

Anything else would be within a couple of dollars, so no worries.

That's good! I haven't really built up a brand preference yet, so we'll see how these go.

Our top is $105, 3 year free replacement 8 year term. I have been known to take one out and jump start with them, when the jump pack can't get it done... Ours are made by Johnson Controls, same manufacturer as Interstate. Of course, there is only about 5 battery manufacturers left I think. Same as with anything, spec'd for each company.

 

[Austin]

Not a bad price there... Would have saved me $20 or so.

I do like our warranty and typically no hassle policy... Most times it is in the computer, might be a little harder to find sometimes, especially if you have as many vehicles in it as I do, and some others... If it wasn't entered in by the vehicle at the lookup terminal, it can be tricky to find. I am guilty of that from time to time, but all of that goes into a file at the end of the list, unknown vehicle...

I wish I could say that about trying to get my engine warrantied...
