I'm not an Electrical expert by any stretch, however I've heard from different sources for years that in many cases the Alternator can cause a battery to go bad if its not working correctly, I'm not sure if they meant "Not Charging" or something else was wrong? I agree that exchange location is a big plus when buying a battery and I can only think of one place that's normally 24 hrs and just about everywhere!
