I was quite happy with my battery purchase initially, especially with the ability they had to deliver and install the battery quickly. But my opinion has now changed dramatically! I went out to start my car today to run errands today and my battery was totally dead! Even worse, it was very cold here today, only 7 degrees outside. That means the battery was likely frozen. Frozen batteries can explode if you try to jump them or charge them and with how cold it was and how dead the battery was it most certainly was frozen. So I reached out to 1800batteries to see about a warranty replacement. They said they would come out and do a warranty replacement for a $50 charge. They went on to say that when the technician arrives they will first test the battery. If the battery tests good I would be charged $107 for a service fee (penalty really) and they would not exchange the battery. Even worse they said I could choose to purchase the battery if I wanted to, at a price of over $300. So the total then would be over $400 if they decided the battery was still usable. Well I was pretty darn sure that their technician would declare the battery while totally dead was just fine and expect me to pay out over $400 for then new one! I told them to forget it, I went to Fleet Farm and bought a bigger, stronger battery for $160 and it has a better warranty to boot. Funny but I never was informed of their extra hoops to jump through to get them to honor their warranty back when I bought the battery. I’m very unhappy.
