New old batteries ?

Batteries with a one year warranty that are 6 months old already ? I guess as long as I have the receipt theyll go off that date instead of the date on the batteries. Never had one didnt go about 4 years anyway.

Doesn't it have a tag on it where they punch out the month and year when you buy it? That's how they do it here for the warranty.
 
Must depend on the brand. Maybe some elcheapo from a box store doesn't have a punch label, but every one I've
bought from the auto parts store has them. First thong they do is sit them on the counter, pull the box up off
them, get out a jack knife and pop out the dots.
 
It must depend on the brand. I know the interstate battery in the pickup I just bought had the punch card on it and a sticker with the date. That or it depends on the distributor - it appears most
batteries that don't have the punch card have a space to apply the card.

Walmart now keeps the purchase as part of their record. How they know if the battery you are bringing back is the same as the battery that went out the door - I have no idea.

The Bomgaar store advertises 6 volt batteries at $79.00. Orschealns is $120. I thought my next battery would come from Bomgaars until I was in the store looking around and noticed the only two 6 volt batteries they had were 7-22 and older.
 
Ive had pretty decent luck with the Bomgaars batteries . Normally they keep them fresher on the shelf than this . Back in the old days you could pick these batteries up when they ran the sale for just about 100$ even tax tittle license and dealer and docking fee . Now they are 135$ and the sale is only 15$ off instead of the 20$ off .
 
When I buy a new battery I take my tester with me.

I don't know why there is a big difference between batteries with the same date.
