Exclamation starter & battery blues

Well last month wound up having to replace starter & battery at the same time. Got the battery from napa Bat 7235 had to order it because of the size. Install went well and good but started noticing battery water around the tray (it was not leaking or boiling out of the top) washed it clean and sure enough came back so today got them to warrenty it. No questions asked so good to go. The parts guy said it happens someone gets rough in shipping and throws it alittle to hard. Probably do to size! Its a heavy sucker! So very pleased with napa service. But was kinda bummed to have to change it again. Just thought I would share. Check your Battery when you replace it.

Thanks!
I just replaced mine yesterday. I got a 950 cca, group 31 with a 2 yr free replacement warranty for $102.xx out the door. It a Parts Plus brand battery, which is the local parts store brand but its made by East Penn/Deka, who I think makes the majority of all batteries.
The price was good, time will tell about quality.
