Do you have any experience with World SourceOne batteries?
Yes, they're one who buys battereies and slaps their own label on them. Most of the ones I've encountered were East Penn / Deka batteries with the WSO label on them.

Thanks; I think you said East Penn was good, but I'm not sure what you said about Deka. The shop I use says they've had good luck with WSO.Yes, they're one who buys battereies and slaps their own label on them.

The battery in every new vehicle I've owned in the last 20 years seems to go near the 4 year mark. I replace them with a duracell from Sams as they approach the 4 yr time. It's better than having one fail at an unexpected time.Am I the only one who proactively replaces batteries at the 4 year mark?
I’d rather replace it when convenient for me.
Because when they fail on their own, it’s at the worst possible time.

My car is in for other things, but it may need a battery too.
I can tell they've lasted several years if that's what you remember paying for themwalmart 60 dollar batteries
I remember what I paid for them because that's what they cost, and they last.I can tell they've lasted several years if that's what you remember paying for them
I don't think anyone ever expects the battery to fail. I don't worry about it because it's easy to jump off and cheap and easy to replace. People who aren't able to do it have more issues with car repairs though.The battery in every new vehicle I've owned in the last 20 years seems to go near the 4 year mark.

Normally, I can detect when one is starting to go bad. So I don't wait until it is completely dead. But I don't change based on the calendar.Am I the only one who proactively replaces batteries at the 4 year mark?

40 years ago, Firestone offered a lifetime guarantee battery. Only good for the original vehicle in which it was installed. They figured most people don't keep cars very long and of those that do, most won't be able to find the paperwork.
I keep paperwork. And I drive cars for many years. Can't remember how many batteries they had to replace before I finally sold that car.
Why would that turn you off of them? You lost the receipt. I lost mine too but was just lucky.Bought one battery from Walmart, but that was about 21 years ago. It failed during the warranty period. But I had lost the receipt and they wouldn't honor the prorated warranty without it. Lesson learned. Hopefully by now they have computerized records of the sale, but that one experience turned me off Walmart batteries.
Because the battery was their brand and had the date of manufacture on it. The battery tested bad. Why did they need proof that I bought it from them and that it was still in warranty? Just seemed unreasonable to me.Why would that turn you off of them? You lost the receipt. I lost mine too but was just lucky.
That makes sense too.Because the battery was their brand and had the date of manufacture on it. The battery tested bad. Why did they need proof that I bought it from them and that it was still in warranty? Just seemed unreasonable to me.
