Hey guys, it's that time for me, time to put in a new battery. My everstart maxx from the beginning of 2018 quit, and from what I've found online, if you take advantage of the prorated portion of the warranty, the new battery will have the warranty that of the original.
My car takes a Group 51R, and these seem like they are more pricey than other group sizes, which blows, looking at $149.99 at walmart for the everstart maxx, which kinda prices out advance and auto zone, but it's still pricey.
But then a friend mentioned Interstate blemished batteries, and said a family member had good luck. There are a couple dealers around here so I gave them a call, the close one(of course) didn't have any, but the other location said they had a couple blems for $45 with a 6 month warranty. That price is very tempting. I'm curious if you need to warranty a blem within those 6 months, and they don't have any, if you'd be SOL or if they give you a new one or a refurb, I completely forgot to ask when I called.
So, I must ask folks of BITOG, have any of you had experience with blemished batteries? Let me hear it!
