just came back from Orielly's not happy ,,paid almost 200 bucks for a battery few years back 2013 was the super start top of the line ,,on the battery it said 72 month for the warranty but when I took it in they confirmed it was bad an did not want to do a exchange the battery is bad,,was fed a line that they changed to a newer better battery an so I had to buy another one after 1 week worth of fuss they decided they would prorate the battery for me ,,they said,,they have been sued over this very thing as the battery warranty is really just a prorate even on there best battery ,, they said they run into this all the time but explain it to the customer when you come into exchange one,,did not use to be this way if it said warranty on the battery an it is in date why should there need to be a prorate,,after some fussing I got it for 50 dollars but should not have cost me a thing,,it just cost them my repeat business,,,Auto zone will stand behind there battery warranty ,,if it says 5 years it means 5 years,,no BS at the counter when you need your parts warrantied

Reason of review: made me pay for a battery still in warranty.

Monetary Loss: $80.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Location: Homosassa, Florida

I think the funny thing about the OP is he doesn't know that in the long run that O'Reilly batteries are made by the same company as Autozone

You don't know how battery warranties work obviously. It's usually a 2 or 3 year free replacement and then the prorate kicks in afterwards. And the prorate doesn't mean free replacement either oh and if you got a battery under warranty the warranty doesn't start over from the warranty battery it goes from the original purchase.....
