Just wondering if their warranty is going to matter in my situation. Also if they are going to deny a warranty if I tell them what happened with the lights being left on one night last year.

X2, it's not relative to the warranty and too much info confuses a lot of people and thereby the issue. Don't volunteer unnecessary information.

What day of the month did you buy it. In my case the battery had a 11/16 sticker. I was there I think the 29 th. When the guy at the service center tried to warranty it. The computer kept rejecting it. The message was tnis item was bought 11/06/16 and not returnable. The guy was shocked also. It is a recent change he did not know about it.

The OP is concerned about walmart warranting a weak battery. If 8t weak and they try to charge it andc takes charge they may not warranty it. So to ensure they do it needs to be so low it will not take a charge.
For everyday I agree with you

Ah, I see. I think mine are 5 year and at least 3 year warranty.
So.. my batteries are showing weak. Would it not make more sense to just keep running them down till they are literally showing bad, to avoid Walmart from telling me to keep using them? I worry about having to replace a very expensive starter as a result of using a weak battery.

That's my point. Batteries take a LONG time to charge to 100% and then they really need to cook for a while after that. Chronic undercharging is a big problem. I don't blame them for this. Now you know why a decent batteries cost $150 instead of $75, everybody wants free lifetime battery replacement, because people insist on torturing them on a daily basis, and then bitch that the batteries aren't any good. I'm surprised they last as long as they do. All the major brands make an outstanding product.
