[QUOTE="Netherfield, post: 7753394, member: 6536"] I got quite friendly with the storeman at the local auto electric firm, being he lived in the village and drunk in the same local. They were Lucas agents at the time, batteries came to them 'dry' and the acid was added at the time of sale, they had a range of three batteries, 1,2 and 3 year warranty, he explained that in fact they were the self same batteries, the price difference was enough to cover for any claim on one that didn't make the three years, and even then they would try to blame it on user neglect. Of course the stores were not supposed to tell the customers this and always try sell the three year 'version'. He also said that there were only around three firms making batteries in this country which were sold under various different makers names, probably none made in this country anymore. [/QUOTE]
