[AT] battery question

[rlgoss at insightbb.com]

There is a national battery association that passed some rules regarding warrantees.  Supposedly, if a battery is installed in a tractor, riding mower, etc, the warrantee is automatically cut to just one year regardless of what is printed on the side of the battery.  But you just put your finger on the problem, Dave.  It's just not very enforceable.
