I have a JC Penney lifetime battery in my 69 Charger. I think I bought it in about 1979. They weren't very good so it got replaced about every 2-3 years for free until I stopped driving the car in 1993. When JC Penney got out of the auto business, they sold their warranty stuff to Firestone who then has to cover those. Remember, Penney's sold the batteries with the tag line that it was "the last battery you will ever buy for your car."

Firestone tried to quit honoring the warranty and it went to court. The judge issued the ruling that Firestone must honor the warranty as long as people make a claim. So....I plan to resurrect my Charger in the next few months and it won't be long until it will be ready for a battery. I'll be taking my old crusty Lifetime battery in to a Firestone store to get it replaced. I'm sure I'll get a blank stare and push back so I'll have the paperwork and info with me. Should be a good time!!

Here's the Charger currently waiting for his time to resurrect.

Just reminded me....

I worked for NAPA, on & off, for somewhere around 20 years, and one of my '92 trucks has a "lifetime" starter, water pump, hoses, alternator, power steering pump....get the drift here? It also has a Lifetime Warranty on the muffler, and the last time I took it in, the Manager (who used to be my Assistant Mgr) told me I was killing his margins with all of my lifetime warranties.

"Not my problem!", I jokingly (yet seriously) responded back to him.

Good luck with your battery!
