it's ok, now I have a Toyota battery instead.

it looks exactly the same as the "Lexus" battery(another Interstate), but with different stickers. $65 otd and if this one dies my buddy at Toyota will warranty it.

Lexus over here tried to charge me 66 dollars for the drive belt. I laughed in their face.

There is a free replacement period and a prorated period when it comes to the auto batteries. By what you mentioned here, your battery should be within the prorated period and money deducted on the purchase of a new battery. Lexus warranty info below........

There is a difference in the CPO warranty vs New Car warranty in that a dead battery under new car warranty is replaced free (not prorated) up to the last day. I bought ms GS as a CPO but it was still under new car warranty. My battery went dead after 3 years and was replaced free under new car warranty. Now 3 years later, the replacement battery went dead and I just decided to buy my own.
