My only beef was at the 'til they ADDED a fee that would be refunded
when I brought back the old battery. After pointing that out to them
that I wasn't told about the "recycling fee", they showed me a little
handwritten sign that supposedly told everyone this recycling fee
would be added. Aside from the fact I was keeping the old battery for
another use, I'm a half hour drive from the store. That would have
chewed up at least the same amount in gas to return it. As for the
battery itself, it seems fine.

Almost all states and some local governments have laws that require a
deposit or recycling fee for lead-acid batteries. Some states do not even
require that the information about the fee be posted in stores for consumers
to see.
