so checked the battery at autozone and it was really bad which explains hesistant start today.

opened the cover and found out it is 24f, but weakling 530cca interstate battery with 65months warranty still in effect. however from ib's site, they mention "original purchaser" for warranty.

has anyone had good experience swapping/upgrading new interstate battery even though u weren't original purchaser of the battery?

got my eye on megatron 710 cca.

surprisngly, interstate gave me credit on old battery that i didn't purchase. got the megatron 27f as upgrade, fits snug in the bay. starts right up. all good.

Good to hear. Yea some people will be nice and let it go like that, there's no doubt that it's thier battery and they can tell how old it is. As long as you're nice and don't go in there screaming, "this battery is a POS and you better give me another one", they should give you the credit if it's still under warranty.
