You must have because they close at 11 PM...Call them....I must have broken in last week then when I was there at 12:15AM..........
Yup, you're right. Went and grabbed the receipt, it was actually a few minutes after 11 (must have been closing.) Thought it was later than that. Memory is the last thing to go I guess....LOLYou must have because they close at 11 PM...Call them....
No it's true with Walmart. The label is scanned at purchase and indicates when the battery was purchased.That's never been my experience. Otherwise you could pick up a scrap battery within the warranty period and get a new one.
The part about the warranty restarting with the new one is not true. I have warrantied 5-6 walmart batteries over the year and EACH time they clearly told me the warranty on the replacement battery is only what's left on the original (bad) battery. You don't get a full warranty on the replacement - just what's left on the one you replaced.Just wanted to post this thread in case anyone is considering an EverStart battery from Walmart. I picked one up back in November of last year for the Focus. As you would expect, it was considerably cheaper than many of the alternatives. With a 2-year replacement warranty, I figured I'd give it a shot.
The bad news? The battery only made it 4 months before going bad. Owell, stuff fails, now let's see about that replacement warranty...
Good news? I was able take the bad battery to the automotive section and have it replaced no questions asked. In fact, they didn't even test the battery (which surprised me).
The lead tech that replaced the battery told me they don't even need the receipt, just as long as the barcode on the top of the battery is in place. Furthermore, he informed me that the warranty of the replacement battery extends from today - not from the original purchase. So the 2-year replacement warranty is reset upon replacement.

You have a point there.We are both only reciting what we were told by someone else. I wasn't able to find the warranty information online or in writing to confirm either view.

If anything, I think this thread proves that the experience can vary highly from one store to the next.
You probably got lucky and they processed yours as a return vs a warranty. Then your new one was a "new sale."We are both only reciting what we were told by someone else. I wasn't able to find the warranty information online or in writing to confirm either view.

Total opposite for me. They won't take the old one back unless I have the purchase receipt, I just take a pic of it on my phone now, that has worked the last 2 times.Just wanted to post this thread in case anyone is considering an EverStart battery from Walmart.
