I replaced a 20 (Twenty) year old Sears Diehard Gold group 65 battery in my Farmall Super H 3 yrs ago. I
doubt the new Diehard Gold lasts that long but maybe it will surprise me Two years ago I replaced the
Motorcraft batteries in my diesel pickup that were 14 years old. I put Sears Diehard Gold group 65's in
it too. The battery in my 2006 Volvo S40 died about two years ago. Put a Farm & Fleet Gold replacement
in it. Had 3 yr free replacement warrantee. When it failed they wanted to argue with me but I finally got
my free replacement battery. So that's the Best and the worst of my battery experiences.

You guys couldn't PAY me enough money to buy a car battery at Walmart. Bought a Chzmpion brand battery
24-25 years ago for my truck. Went over a speed bump in Son's school driveway a bit too fast. Battery had
one cell short out, wouldn't make enough volts on 5 cells to let the alternator reduce the charge rate.
Set the wiring from the alternator on fire one morning sitting idling at a gas pump. Wal-Mart refused my
warrantee on a 2 yr old battery, didn't return the battery to the mfg for 3 months, mfg refused to pay my
claim, said battery was fine. I told the lying test engineer to put the battery in HIS car in
Minneapolis and try running it a week! You could tell he was lying by the way he stumbled and stammered
trying to think of something to say. I even called the Battery Buyer at WalMart in Bentonville. They
stopped buying batteries from the Mfg about a year before my problem. I swear everyone I talked to at the
mfg was a lawyer!
In the period of about a year I had my battery problem, bought a VCR tape I taped a show on, went to
rewatch the next night and tape would not wind from one spool to the other. Walmart gave me grief trying
to return it, I grabbed it away from customer service person and tossed it in the trash while saying a
few choice words about Walmart. Son bought a combination padlock that fell apart opening the package in
the parking lot. And the extension phone wife bought at Walmart put a loud screech and squawk in our
whole phone system. Unplug the Walmart phone and it was fine. Threw Walmart phone in trash and Life got
better.

Yep, You guys haven't got enough money to get me to buy junk at Walmart.
