Walmart batteries are JUNK. I asked a manager one time "you must have a warehouse full of defective batteries" he replied "we do" . nuff said.

Same situation, my battery was bad was tested by autoparts store ( 2 diffrent ones ) and not only did they tell me it was good they informed me that it was putting out 1400 cranking amps when it was only a 800 cranking amp battery. Also the battery had a free 3yr. replacement. On the top where they punched out the date it was 6/05. So they tried to tell me it wasn't under free replacement. Which would have been true because it was this month when I tried to return it 7/08 But I bought it last year. So after I let them stand there and assure me that I was WRONG and they were RIGHT in front of all the customers I showed them the sticker on the side that had a manufactured date of May/07 LMAO! As I stood there waiting for THIS explanation, :roll

the TLE manager came and said they could give me another one minus 1yr. of the free replacment (which is what was owed to me and is all I wanted) (guess they forgot all about saying it was still good)

Don't let them sucker you.

Maybe someone should due some research. Batteries do LEAK all the time not from a crack but from the terminals and this is under warranty. What you should have done was go to the district or corp manager to get satisfaction. Good luck

They also don't tell you when your old battery is still good and all you really needed was just new battery cables.

Actually, if the battery is leaking acid, it is not a warranty issue. No battery company in their right mind would warranty a product that was broken. You said it was leaking when you brought it back, and since you didn't say otherwise, I would assume it was not when you purchased it. This can mean a few things, but typically speaking, a battery will break like that when dropped, when one strikes it hard enough to break the case, or if it is frozen.

Sounds to me like your father somehow broke it and wants to get something back for it. Now, if it were just testing bad, without a broken/leaking case, that would be a different issue.
