I visited my local Super Cheap Auto today looking for a new battery. I was horrified to find that all the batteries of the type I wanted were 12 months old. This would be acceptable if they weren't already filled with electrolyte, but since they were filled I can only assume that they were already half dead from sulphation. Needless to say I left without a new battery and will be ordering a fresh one from a local business.

Along the same lines, I never ever buy batteries (AAA,AA,C,D etc) from anywhere other than a
supermarket. This may not exactly be a surefire system, but I figure they have the largest turnover, therefore their batteries shouldn't be as old. Like I said not a totally flawless theory, but one I always follow.
