My luck as well. The new carries a 2.5 year replacement warranty and 5 year prorated coverage. The remanufactured one has a 30 day warranty which has me concerned.
It was an advance auto parts battery with a two year warranty that ended 6 months ago. I’m going Interstate with my next battery. Are remanufactured batteries any good? Apparently my local interstate division offers new and remanufactured. Thoughts?
I agree but mine can’t sit three or four days. I had it sit overnight last night not even connected to the truck and it drops almost .25 volts. Is that normal discharge for resting?
After charging the battery last night and starting this topic post this morning and went back to advanced at lunch today. They tested it again and said that my CCA were down and that I should charge the battery. The CCA were down to 515 on a battery rating of 585. The tech/salesman claimed that one crank can drain the battery that much and i should drive 30 miles too charge it up. I then explained that I don’t drive it everyday and that after 2-3 days it won’t start. He then recommended that I crank it at least once a day. Umm, not everyone drives daily and this type of maintenance shouldn’t be required for any car. Seems like he wasn’t getting the issue or just didn’t care. I guess a new interstate battery is in my future.
