Battery ....RIP,......... Death By Polar Vortex??

Well, I hope it hasn't boiled out already, lol. I've already exchanged it for the new one (see 1st post). The old one showed no signs of any regurgitating or tell tale on the painted hood just above it. The battery insulation wrap is a little dusty but no wet spots at all.
It has the whopping 3 month replace warranty so I'll have Advance check it just prior to the OOW date. I think I'll have the alternator tested at another store in the meantime.
14.2 volts is the benchmark for charging systems . 15v+ can be a problem. A bad battery can cause the alternator to charge on the high side but when you do a batter/ charging system test, the battery should be fully charged for accurate results.
