You are spot on about the prorated warranties. I believe that batteries are designed to fail just before the warranty period expires. It gets you to be a return customer to save a few bucks. That is OK if you like the battery you have.... I'm OK with the full replacement warranty period, but I consider the prorated warranty period to be a marketing scam. It is well known that batteries have to be replaced eventually so they dangle a little "in store credit" if you bring back your battery within the prorated period. This effectively captures you to keep coming back to them for your next battery and it also requires to you run the battery until or very near failure (i.e. stranded somewhere). I choose not to participate, others can decide for themselves.

This is why I like the Bosch battery. It is a decent battery, and they will replace it within the 3 year period, no pro-rating. I see Pep Boys has the 96R at only $119 now.
