Are your batteries good?

Recently, a friend asked me if a car battery that has lasted two and half years is worth it and still good enough. First, I asked him how long the warranty was on the battery. He answered, “about a year.” “That’s great!” was my reply, especially that it was used in a Nissan Terrano powered by a diesel engine. That was very, very good. Money well spent.

The run-of-the-mill battery would normally last just a few months after the warranty has lapsed, whether it be the low-maintenance kind or the one that needs regular maintenance. But to have one in a diesel-powered vehicle that needs considerably more battery amperage to crank and start the engine, and last more than a year after its supposed lifetime is really great!
