Unhappy Anyone on their 3rd 12 volt battery?

Its turned cold here and I have notice all my lamps and speed of my windows increases dramatically once the engine is on. I havent checked the 12 volt battery, but I am keeping 100 bucks a side for another battery.

The past year I have removed the sub, 2nd battery, cap and primarly been focused on the PHEV kit I have and getting more mpg. Ironically Ive have much success running mroe power through the system by having a small load on the 12 volt side like the blower on setting 3 or ac on blower 1.

Just bored I guess?

Where the first replacements under warranty? I thought the battery was covered under the B2B warranty.

Maybe it's covered? I wanted more power and got an aftermarket like a few other guys here.

first 36 months: battery and labor is covered 100%
36-100 months: battery is covered at prorated charge, owner is responsible for labor

That just gets you another crappy battery, but you can't beat free.
