[FC] FC replacement battery

[Louis Armer]

Hi everyone, I appreciate ALL the feedback and suggestions concerning 
what battery you use and what company's battery to purchase for my 
Greenbrier. I went back to Advance Auto this afternoon with battery 
in hands and NO receipt. The help I received was excellent and very 
professional. He first performed a battery diagnosis and found the 
battery was defective and then we progressed to step #2. I typically 
patronize only two Advance locations so through my home phone number 
and Ted Fahrenthold's old business number we were able to determine 
that I purchased the battery on 11-23-07 at the store located in 
Tucker, GA near Ted's old shop. I missed the FREE 24 month 
replacement period by less than a month :-( The good news is that the 
prorated purchase including tax was $31.30. I of course made the 
purchase since the battery had never failed till two days ago and 
$15.00 a year is not a bad deal in today's economic climate. This is 
a 72 month battery with another 24 month free replacement period. The 
battery retails now for $82.99 plus $5.81 tax. I intend to keep the 
receipt very handy in the glove compartment and I will give myself a 
two week lead to have the battery analysis done before the 24 month 
grace period. I will also seriously consider an Auto Zone, Odyssey or 
Johnson Control manufactured battery next go round. I don't think 
with the limited travel on the Greenbrier that I can justify the 
additional expense of an Optima but then again ............you never 
know. I may install the new battery tomorrow but probably this 
weekend after Christmas. A big THANK YOU to everyone who took the 
time and effort to offer their opinions and choices.

Corvairly,
Chuck Armer

ps. A very helpful hint from my buddy at Advance Auto is to scan the 
receipt to a regular sheet of paper as the cash register receipt fade 
to unreadable in a very short time and especially in left in direct sunlight.
