At autozone around here it depends who's working that day. If you get some young cats who really don't give a shit, you can get over. But if you've got some of those lifers who've been working there for years, they with the shits and say the warranty expires based on the original purchase.If u buy a car battery from Walmart, autozone, or o'reillys....make a habit of taking it back within 2 years every time for a free replacement...no questions asked.
Walmart is better with the unlimited replacement although last month i did a warranty 3 days before the warranty expiration the chick told me that was the last warranty replacement i was eligible for..
