Prorating on batteries is horrific.  If you are two years into a 1/4 battery
costing 50 bucks (one year replace/4 year prorate) you are only going to get
about 16 bucks credit on a new one.  Not the 25 you would expect.  The 2/4
or 2/5 batteries you at least get full replacement still at 2 years.  But
you pay up front on that by about a 20 percent increase in the cost of the
battery.
