Twelve years ago you probably paid less than half of what you paid for the new battery. That would be something like $57.99. Divided by 12, it would figure to be about $4.83 per year! Pretty cheap!!

The battery you purchased isn't worth any more than what you paid 12 years ago, because the money you paid for it with is now with only worth half as much. Inflation is simply government theft of our money! WE'VE ALL BEEN ROBBED!!
