Story - bought 2005 RR back in 2022. The previous owner put a new battery from Walmart - EverStart H9, 950 CCA 3 month earlier. Year and half after purchase, beginning of 2024 battery died. Took it back to walmart and they replaced under warranty (they have 3 year warranty) and put new. This was Feb 2024.
This April left for extended overseas trip for 40 days. Car was parked in on a street. Upon return battery is dead. Called AAA, they came, jump started it but I could tell that something was off already based on how slow starting was. Took today back to walmart for test, yep - dead.
Supervisor at walmart did replace this time under warranty as well, and now they put EverStart Platinum AGM battery but told me that this was last replacement - if something goes wrong, I have to buy a new battery.
So my question is - what might be something there that causes battery to be dead after a year?
