How to kill my batteries?

I’m coming up on my 36 month warranty expiring on my tundra. My last couple vehicles I’ve been fortunate enough to have the batteries go out right before the warranty expired. Anyone have any advice on how to permanently kill my battery? Also, am I the only scumbag who’s thought of this?thanks

 

What the fuck

I've heard of worse ways to be a cheap bastard, but that's up there.

 

Nobody:
* giving away free dog turds*
OP:
I’ll take 3!!

 

They would most likely pro-rate it if it even has a 36mo warranty.

 

All the other times the dealer put in new ones.

 

Yeah I’m pretty trashy lol

 

We’ve met trashier, this is only like top of the can action

 

Completely discharge it several times and charge it. Automotive batteries don't like cycles.

 

Take a 10ga wire directly from your ecm to the positive post. Another wire from the ground post directly to your ecm ground. Make sure not to use a fuse. This will definitely make it so your truck won't start.

Exactly. Spend $150 in time to kill a $100 battery, then another $200 in time and gas to / from / at the dealer.

I’d rather have a firm grip on a wrench touching both posts.

 

I'd say just go to Interstate and buy a 24F or 27F and call it a day.
If you're really cheap Costco sells the bottom line Interstates pretty cheap..

I'd replace an OEM battery way before it got to 3 years old, but I don't like having a vehicle that won't start..
I'm living the life though.
I've got better things to do than go to all that trouble for a prorated replacement battery.

 

This post reminds me of that guy who goes to a Vegas all you can eat buffet for 6hrs and also grabs a weeks worth of to go boxes on the way out.

 

You’re better than this.

 

I’m really not

 

LOL!!

 

Just an fyi, it is actually called fraud......

 

So is that new 2022 tundra Toyota put out there

 

lol.. vacuum with the truck in accessory and radio on and doors open... you may need a jump after.... my 5.7's batteries didn't do so well after 10 minutes, so I had to run mine constantly.....

 

Bingo! Thank you good sir.

 

I couldn’t get my NEW OE batteries to last 3 days and this guy is complaining his won’t die before 3 years !!

Seriously 2 replaced batteries on a 2021 Tundra - nothing lasted more than 3 days. Broke down and paid $300 for a yellow Optima and zero complaints since.

If you have gotten more than 1 new battery - call it a win and move on. They SHOULD be doing replace for failure within a year of original purchase and pro-rata after. Again - technically after you bought the first - they owe a warranty based on original purchase - not reset the clock if your battery goes out at 35 months. Of course some are more customer focused and go above/beyond.

My local dealer argued about giving me an oil change after 1 year of ownership because I only had 780 miles on the truck. Be glad to have been treated well - run it till it dies and then buy a new one - knowing the new stuff is more likely to be a POS and you might have to go to batteries plus and she’ll out a few hundred for a reliable AGM going forward.

 

I know your right, I’ll probably get a crappy Covid battery

 

I wonder if that would make your hair look like this....

 

All the ppl throwing stones at the OP's glass house are the same ones buying one set of brake pads w/lifetime warranty and never buying new ones again

 

Oh boy... Here we go again

 

You can stop wondering. The answer is yes, and that is my hairstyle, albeit a bit shorter.

 

Pfft. Amateurs!! I bought a tank of gas with a lifetime warranty.

 

Oh man if this worked you'd be the most sought after SOB on the planet.
