Thanks, I've put the solar panel on them... I just called Costco, where I bought these Interstate batts in April... I can't find the receipt, but they said "no problem, bring em in, we'll give you replacements".... Costco is a couple hours away, though, and swapping these will take a day...with the trip, so if they're going to "come back ok". ..rather not go through that...
