Here's my situation. I bought a new battery for my car (60 month warranty) almost 6 years ago, so I've gotten my money's worth. I HATE when my battery goes dead because it always seems to happen in the most inopportune time. I know I can always jump it or call AAA, but was thinking about having the battery checked and/or just replacing it. My question is how accurate is the battery check most places do? Last time mine died, coincidentally, I had it checked less than a month earlier and it tested fine. I have heard (mostly from folks who sell batteries) that this is common. Does anyone have any experience with this and/or can offer any insights? I don't think I have ever had a car battery that lasted over 6 years.
