That's what I'm doing. I'm suggesting to him that he stop fooling
around and get his money back while he still has a chance. I bought my
own batteries direct from the national distributor, and not by
mailorder or from a store where they might have sat wasting away for
months or years before I bought them. I bought them from the same
distributor that supplies them to West Marine, Defender and all the
other retail marine stores. Nobody rotates battery stock faster than
these guys. Nobody. My batteries were manufactured less than a month
before I got them.

CWM


If your smart like me you'll never BUY another battery. That's dumb. . .

I've got a better system than you have. I used to buy my batteries from
K-Mart so I could take advantage of their warranty but then they
shortened up the free-replacement warranty. So now I buy them from
Advance Auto where they have a year to three year replacement warranty
and pro-rated up to five years on their premium batteries. So I buy the
premium three-year batteries and at about two or two and a half years I
dump the acid out of one cell and put water back in instead of acid.
Then I take it back and say it has a dead cell. They test it and put it
on their fast charger and the cell stays dead so they give me a free
replacement new battery. I haven't bought batteries in over fifteen
years now.

K-Mart is good for free printer cartridges though. Every time you need
new ink cartriges visit K-Mart and buy a new printer that has the same
ink cartriges. Carefully open the package and remove the new cartridges.
Install your empties in the new printer. Package it back up and return
it telling them it wouldn't install and work on your computer. Tell them
you have an old Apple laptop. They'll give you a full refund without
knowing the thing has empty ink cartriges in it. Then they'll sell it
some loser who doesn't check the box carefully enough to realize it's
been opened. Bwahahahahahhahahahaha!
