9768, Ha! My battery is DEAD AGAIN! Anyone know AutoZone policy?
Posted by ghost, Sep-20-04 03:07 AM
I can't figure out what the hell could be draining my battery so damn quick. I just put a brand new one from AutoZone in there like 3 weeks ago. It has a 3 year warranty.

Do you guys know if they'll just replace it no questions asked if I bought the battery 3 weeks ago? How does this work?

I'm getting a little bit pissed at my car...

TIA!

Dude I am right there with you. I have an alarm with autostart and I think that may be drainin my battery quick. So I'm in the same boat dude. As for the battery they should just take it right back and give you a new one, most batteries have a warranty, so you will be covered anyway.. My next battery will deffintley be a RedTop or YellowTop. My battery is leakin and is less than a year old.. So I'm really pissed

Cool, thanks man! I'm sorry to hear that you're having the same problems...it's really pissing me off! Luckily, I only have missed my morning workouts so far. I think I can get my g/f to take me up to AutoZone before my next meeting.

Oh and mine might be my alarm too...I don't know wtf is happening... Is there a place that can do a free wire test or whatever?

TIA!

I went to a mechanic he tested the alternator and it was fine, he tested the battery said it was bad and that was it. I couldn't find anywhere that could check electrical systems for a drain.

Yeah they will give you a new one if its only 3 months, after a while (I think a yr) they will give you partial credit.

For my 2yr old battery they gave me about 70% of its retail value.
