We saw two examples here where someone was told Century is a pain in the *** for warranty and that Supercharge is no questions asked.
Then another person was told that Supercharge is a pain in the *** on warranty claims from another branch of the same store.
If you were spending $20,000/month with that branch, watch how they bend over backwards and magically the Century warranty problem suddenly isn't a problem.

If a battery did give up before say 3 year warranty, it would not be a new battery for nothing ? but to do with how many months old it is pro-rata ?
Many people think that the new car warranty like 10 years is nothing to pay if something needs doing. like a clutch or auto has to be reconditioned i am sure one does not get a new auto trans, if anything just set to last out the warranty.
Engine well i have seen a Holden red 6 cyl that was Holden reco that had 2 cyl bored out 60 tho number 3 and 4 cyl the rest were stock pistons.
A mate up the road claims No ! it will all be brand new parts he demands ! and nothing to pay at all ! what BS i said. you really believe 10 year warranty is open like that.
After saying that i know 2 mates who are lucky to get 2 years out of any car battery they have ever had, that's 40 years with every car they owned, why ? i think it's because they jump in and drive flat out from cold ? maybe battery do not like that ?
I have had cars that had radio on all day on the job site and no problems with good lasting for years.
