True, Costco stopped carrying it about 18 months ago. They fully refunded my cost and then I drove up the street to WM and got the same battery with the 3 year unlimited warranty. One year later, it faltered in the Bakersfield summer heat so off to WM I went with my receipt. You would think that would be sufficient documentation, right? I forgot that WM views each of its customers as thieves or at least a despicable human who is out to scam Bentonville. The ladies behind the desk went through 15 minutes of red tape, managers, putting the battery on the tester twice, etc. Finally, the test device gave them some sort of assurance that the battery was bad and they refunded my money. After all of the shouting (literally) we all calmed down and she told me that if I had gone to a store with a tire department I would not have gone through all of that mess.
Since no-questions-asked Costco doesn't carry our battery size anymore, I'll have to put on my game face and battle with WM every 12 to 18 months when I replace the battery under warranty.
