It says "3 Year Free Replacement". First, what does this have to do with the assertion about prorated warranties? Second, I don't know many people who have to replace their battery within three years.
- droithomme 15y agoThe comment said the person felt people didn't know about battery warranties. But their existence is written on the side of the battery for brand names. Many Prorated ones like this Sears one have a period over which the prorated value is 100%. After the 3 years, the 100% declines on a linear slope, ending at 0% at 100 months. You could of course have looked this up rather than ranting and making dumb comments.
- nknight 15y agoI think if you'll look back through the thread, I've made two brief comments demonstrating how your assertions that we should all know about prorated battery warranties are faulty. Others have made similar comments. This is neither ranting nor dumb. If you don't want to be challenged on your assertions, you should probably find somewhere other than HN to make them. It's kind of what we do here.
- veyron 15y agoNote that this requires you to look at the battery. My BMW, for example, has its battery in a very obscure location (behind the seats) and there are mere terminals in the hood for jumping.
