Bosch batteries
I have two Bosch batteries in my truck that I've had load tested at 2 different places, both of which say both batteries are bad. When I took them in to Pep Boys (where I bought them) for warranty replacement, their machine shows both batteries to be good. Does anyone know of a retailer other than Pep Boys that sells Bosch batteries? The Bosch website absolutely sucks, and was of no assistance . . .

I never knew Bosch marketed a car battery. PEP boys isn't know around for the best service or quality.
Your probably going to have to suck it up and buy two good batteries from NAPA, Walmart or from AZ. (duralast gold)

Money is *extremely* tight at the moment. My business (marine canvas and upholstery) drops off sharply during the winter. If i could afford to buy two new ones, believe me I would. However, since these are under the full replacement portion of the warranty, I'd much prefer to go that route if I can. I read somewhere that recently Bosch changed manufacturers (their batteries are made by someone else and just relabeled), and are now made by Exide. Still not great, but they have to better than whoever made them before. This will be the third set of them in 2-1/2 years . . .
