When I bought a new battery at WalMart a few months ago, they told me
that there is no more pro-rated replacement after three years.  The
new policy is full replacement for three years, then nothing.  This
was in SoCal, but I assume (possibly incorrectly) that there is a
single warranty program for the USA.  The batteries have a bar code
sticker, and that is what they use to validate the warranty in the
absence of a receipt.
