 I don't need any backing up, I am impervious to shit heads like 
yourself.
 
 I don't drag others into my problems, it just shows weakness.

 If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen, in this case, get
out of the thread.

Your assumption is incorrect. The manufacturer considers the CCA (Cold 
Cranking Amps) and AH (Amp-Hour rating) of the battery. The AH rating is 
of lesser importance since the alternator keeps the battery fully 
charged unless you're operating electrical equipment with the vehicle off.

The batteries in my truck, from Costco, rarely last more than three 
years, probably because I don't drive the truck very often. So I always 
get a warranty replacement. It's not really free, you get a refund of 
the price you paid then you buy a new one at a slightly higher price.

Life gets a whole lot better when you ignore the misbehaving children. 
They really aren't our problem.  If their parents couldn't teach them, 
what hope do you think we have?

Usually a battery replacement is free for the first year.  The battery I 
bought at Costco extended that free replacement to three years and 
prorated after that.  All in all it is a pretty good warranty and the 
second battery is working fine after more than three year... I think.  I 
really can't recall just how long it has been.
