I bought one from an estate sale with a 2 year replacement warranty. The warranty is not up yet. When i got it home it had no voltage.
I am charging it right now and it looks to be taking a charge , but in case it does not take a charge , does anybody know who sells them.
also ,does anybody know where there is an online guide of what group 34 fits?

i went on that site and it does not mention eveready batteries any where i could find. The site is owned by Johnson Controls and it looks like they only show their brands.

Your next question is who will honor your warranty without the store receipt.
 
The above post left out Enersys as a US automotive battery manufacturer....and they are probably the BEST.....producers of the Odyssey AGM battery and identical Sears badged Platinum AGM...Consumers Reports best ever tested car batteries for the last 3 years.

If Murray's carries them, I have been friends with the owner of an independent Murray's for 20 years. He probably would honor it.
I have found that most companies will honor a warranty without a receipt because it is the battery being warrantied , not the owner. There is nowhere on the battery that says to the original owner , It just says 2 year replacement guarantee.
That battery has been on a 2 amp computer controlled charger for 17 hours and has not shown to be bad so far. I think it will be fine. It was on a high shelf in the garage. It could have only endured one winter in a discharged state at most.Hopefully it did not freeze.
Hey , i only paid 10 bucks or less for it.
We bought several hundred dollars of stuff including 4 paintings/pictures, an andis razor, an new rebok nfl hat, a storage cabinet, towels , 20-30 food items, plus the battery , for $50.
I could scrap the thing for $5.
