The battery in my truck died Friday evening. What is noteworthy is it died suddenly. It went from a strong cranking battery to one that wouldn't even power the brake light relay in a matter of less than a minute. I've never had a battery go like that. Luckily it gave up the ghost after I parked in my driveway. It was still under warranty and cost nothing to replace, however, when talking to the manager at the Autozone, he told me that is how they fail now. I don't know if he's correct, but if so, that's a little unsettling. Had it happened a few minutes before, I would have been stranded a couple miles from home.
