More battery news

We are preparing to go in Gracie with friends to Mexico -- we were moving some things to the "new" park model when the Jeep refused to start when we were ready to drive back. We weren't sure if it was the battery (we knew it was almost 3 years old) or the starter, but we asked a friend to come over and help us jump start it, and it started okay.

We headed to Autozone to get a replacement battery...

We got the existing battery in January, 2023, from Advance Auto in Florida, so it was just under 3 years old. 

Since there are no Advance Autos in Arizona, we went to AutoZone.

We got the battery and had the fellow there install it.

*If* there had been an Advance Auto near us, we could have gotten a free battery (the 3 year warranty would have gotten us a free battery). Unfortunately, there are no Advance Auto stores nearby, and we needed a battery now. There is evidently a "procedure" that we could have gone through -- but we didn't realize that until after we'd already gotten it replaced. Oh well, we're glad to have a working battery!
