Sad story about AAA.
My mom, years ago (and not here) had AAA replace her battery. I wasn't thrilled because they charged her a lot, and I could have done it myself.
About 1.5 years later, it was dead again. They refused to honor the warranty because the battery was 5 years old.
We found the receipt for the battery I put in about 5 years prior, and it was the same battery that was still in the car. Hmm.
Moral of this story... Verify the mfg and name of that "new" battery. Check the date code to be sure you are not getting ripped of by paying for an old, but shiny looking, "new" battery. Watch them change the battery.
Not implying AAA here would ever do that, but in general there are dishonest people that take advantage of older people. Always be vigilant.
