Sunday morning at breakfast, I told my wife I didn't remember how old the battery was in my car. I bought the car three years ago last July, but I'd swapped batteries around.
Anyway, I told my wife that considering the way I'm on the road all the time, it might be good insurance to go ahead and put a new battery in the car before winter.
A couple of hours later I went to go somewhere, and the battery in my car was dead.
I jumpered it off my wife's van, drove down to my shop, and pulled the battery. Went to Walmart figuring I'd turn the old battery in as a core. The kid in Customer Service noticed it was a Walmart battery and scanned the bar code. Turned out it still had three months to go on a 36 month free replacement warranty.
I walked out with a new hundred dollar battery and it didn't cost me a dime.
