just got home from work had 4 more batteries come back today this is getting to be a nightmare and on top of it they sent stickers for the batterys because half of ours has the wrong labels on them

Is anyone paying for the vehicle damage that was caused by the bad batteries?

**truckdude239** · 07-13-2006, 08:22 PM

That seems kinda odd for Johnson Controls. They usually make a pretty good battery. Much better than most mass-market batteries. Personally, I would not pay for an Exide under any lable.

I am an Industrial (forklift) battery and charger tech.
