A coincidence: I too owned a battery-eating Opel and lost a Sears DieHard battery after 3.5 years. However, due to (1) the price increases on batteries over that time, and (2) a very good sale on their 48-month battery, the pro-rated refund on the DieHard came within $3 of paying for the 4 year battery. Clearly this scheme, if repeated, will lead to the purchase of cheaper and cheaper batteries on sale at more and more frequent intervals. I sold the Opel instead. Rod Oldehoeft hao!csu-cs!rro
