Re: johnson control batteries
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

Re: johnson control batteries
Is anyone paying for the vehicle damage that was caused by the bad batteries?

Re: johnson control batteries
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.
