I have stop shopping at Sears for almost 3 years now. In fact the last item I bought from Sears was the "Die Hard Gold" car battery. It came with 36 months of replacement warranty and 100 months of pro-rate warranty.
After a week of sitting in the garage, while we vacationed at Breckenridge, CO, my faithful Camry failed to start on Monday. It was kind of strange because I had it sitting in the garage for 3 weeks in December and it still started ok.
I hooked up the boaster cable, from my wife's Xterra and drove to work.
It started ok at lunch and after 5:00 pm when I left work, but Tuesday morning it needed to extra boaster again.
I checked the sale receipt and it was just 33 months old! Luckily Sears kept their promise and replace a new battery. Living in Dallas is no extreme weather, well maybe if you count the days over 100 F. But still it should not shorten that battery's life by 10%. I really doubt if I ever want to buy there again.
