Any users?

Do NOT buy these. My batteries died in my truck when it was at the body shop. They did not call me for help. I wish they would have. They put in one Napa battery, My truck takes two. Big mistake, it blew the passenger side battery up. So they put in an Interstate battery on that side. The Napa battery was puking acid out it like crazy. I had to replace both batteries and I used my normal batteries. The Gold batteries at Advanced Auto parts. No more problems. I did see the AGM batteries. I passed.

I had to replace the 4 house batteries on the motorhome because they froze and cracked the cases a couple of years ago. I don't know how old they were. Replaced all 4, 2 years ago or so. Had to replace 2 of them a couple months ago for cracked cases. I replaced the 2 engine batteries last summer. So I'm waiting on them to do something.

Yeah, I am missing my battery blankets now since the body shop replaced my batteries. Ugg, why can't folks just call and ask for help.

I just watched that video. It misses some very valid points.

1.) How long will the battery last. Warranty, who cares.
2.) Does the battery vent Acid or leak causing corrosion issues?

I won't use junk. New battery testing doesn't mean jack to me.
