Correct there, 4C-meister. On their 84 mo battery Delco now has 50 months of 100% replacement, then the remaining 34 months are pro-rated. They recently changed from 24 mo to 50 mo.
I was especially happy because I just took them (Murray's) a 49 month old dead one. New one didn't cost a penny. I just started running float chargers two years ago, and until then I was beating the piss out of the one in my SCX because the electronics keep a small draw on the battery all of the time and kept running it down.
