[Supras] Battery failed as direct short?

[Jeff Corbat]

Yes, batteries go bad unless you have a trickle charger on them.  I 
typically leave a Battery Minder on my Supra battery 24/7 in hopes that when 
I do need it...it'll actually be there for me.

Hopefully your battery was puchased somewhere that will pro-rate it for you. 
I have received many new Die-Hard batteries through the pro-rate program. 
Otherwise, hit Sam's Club.  They seem to have the best pricing on batteries 
with decent warranties.
