Canadian Tire Corporation (Canada) used to offer their top of the line =
battery with a lifetime replacement (up until 1980 or so). I have two =
vehicles with those batteries. The longest running is my 1962 TR4 that I =
bought the CTC battery in about 1970. You can imagine how many =
replacements I have had in those 45 years. No questions asked. No =
charges. The last time I received a replacement (about a year or two =
ago), they had to put a different make of car into the paperwork because =
their computers had no information on Triumphs, let alone a TR4.
