<<  Note that these warranties are really to cover defects. They are not
guaranties as to how long a battery will last.>>

Well, If I pop for a 56 month battery and it fails, they will cover the
pro rated portion of the batteries claimed life.

Even Wal Mart cover's a battery 100% no questions asked for 24 month's

<<Thats the point...I didn't have a receipt. Thats Autozones way of not
warranting parts/items.>>

You don't need a receipt at the "Zone"

It's all on a national computer.
Brak down anywhere with a part from them and it's covered.

Listen to the radio in your Van.
It's part of their national advertising campaign.

If they didn't cover it you got hosed by the "Zone"
