I am looking for a good battery supplier. We currently use Enersys, more specifically General, and have for about 20 years. Their quality has gone way down. If we can get 6 years out of a battery in a medium duty application we are doing good. Most batteries we sell have had warranty issues which are NEVER covered by warranty unless somebody screams. In addition, the local service stinks. They have a flat rate zone fee of $185.00, even if they drive 1/4 mile from their shop. When they go on a service call that I have sent them to one of my customers they put their service decals all over the battery or charger.
We've tried other companies in the past but they don't seem to be any better.
Can anyone make a recommendation, please???

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
