Default 19 year old battery!

I pulled my battery which couldn’t hold a charge. I brought it into a parts dept and found out it was an original battery from 2001!

I know, right.... I was sitting here trying to figure out what parasitic draw was causing the battery to not hold a charge. When I looked at the label on the battery it had the 8n code on it. I figured it was refurbished. I guess they truly don’t make them like they used to......

For sure. Don't expect that kind of service from your new one!
