Is anyone paying for the vehicle damage that was caused by the bad batteries?

That seems kinda odd for Johnson Controls. They usually make a pretty good battery. Much better than most mass-market batteries. Personally, I would not pay for an Exide under any lable.


I am an Industrial (forklift) battery and charger tech.
