The Battery Reconditioning Report

Yes, the battery you return to the auto parts store for the core charge is definitely worth more than the five bucks they give you. I’ve worked in parts stores in Phoenix where batteries only lasted about two years which meant if people kept their receipt, they would never pay full price for a battery again. Car batteries usually carry a prorated warranty for anywhere from 4 to 7 years. I wondered how the company made a profit in an area where batteries died so quickly. The answer: reconditioning.
