My battery died [View all]

After 28 months. Had a 24-month warranty from BJ's 😠 . Some type of Interstate battery, which I thought would be good. I've never had a battery die that fast... My other car had a alternator that was fading out and its battery still running strong after fixing the alternator.

They were unsympathetic. After a quick Google search... and another jump.... I ended up at the nearby Walmart, even though I hate Walmart. Supposedly their batteries are decent and it has a 3-year warranty. We shall see.

26 year old Ford truck, the other car is a 29 year old Toyota with 400k+ miles 😮
