I've had good luck with Costco batteries in my cars for more than a
decade. I had one start to go bad after a few years and swap for a
new one was quick and painless. Don't remember if they pro-rated,
but I remember being happy.<br>
<br>
They seem to have a pretty quick turnover, so the battery has never
been more than a few months old. Selection is limited to popular
sizes, but never had an issue with my Triumphs, Honda, or Subaru.
They didn't carry a battery for my wife's 2008 VW Jetta though. <br>
<br>
I do put a battery tender on the seldom driven Triumphs every few
months and I think that helps too. <br>
