    Go to your local Costco buy an interstate battery or two if needed. Then return them before the warranty expires. No questions asked and you have new batteries every season.

    Personally, I would buy Exide. I have one of two napa select batteries that is still going strong, the other died 2 years ago. I purchased these batteries April, 2001.

    I could never do that. If you can't afford a new battery you shouldn't be boating anyway. Bad Karma.

    The intent of Costco return policy is not to trade in batteries when someone thinks they are going bad due to long time use. A bad battery yes. A worn out battery NO.! Who do you think takes the hit on the return..Costco.? No the outside vendor gets hosed. Bad karma yes.

    Bingo! I have customers that won't sell to Costco because of their policy. They can kill their vendors. Unfortunately I don't think you'll be able to reason with Taco as he'll just say that part of the business. Oh well.
