Buying Car Batteries

Most car battery warranties are a joke, because you still have to shell out money for a new car battery when your old one dies. They claim 7 year warranties, but your battery may only last 2 or 3 years then you bring it in when it dies and they "prorate" you a discount off another battery. So if your 7 year battery dies at 36 months, they give you a 50% prorated discount off a new 7 year battery, you don't get a new battery for free. If you don't have your receipt for the battery you bought 3 years ago, you'll get nothing, so save receipts for your diehard batteries and alternators. You might ask, "who's going save their battery receipt?". Lots of people do. Keep it in the maintenance records notebook that you create when you buy a new car. Whenever you need the receipt you'll know where to find it. Be kind to your environment and use proper battery disposal methods. Always bring the dead battery to turn in to the auto parts store. Some states may have a battery disposal fee that you pay when purchasing a new automotive battery. Sometimes when you buy an alternator at the auto parts stores, you have to trade in your old one, so they may charge you a deposit until you bring the old core in. Consult your auto maker to decide which battery you should get.
