Yes.
Follow up to my earlier post.
I couldn't find my receipt, but Menards has a kiosk where you can enter your credit card, or check number if you paid by check, and it will bring up your past purchases using that payment method. I stuck my chip card in, and it brought up my past receipts. The thing is, it quit around mid 2018. I asked the girl at the return desk about it, and she asked if I had changed cards. I had, in 2017, when I got the new card with the chip. But my number didn't change, just the expiration date and the ccv number. She said their records go back 8 years.
Luckily, I dread throwing cards away, and I still have the old card. I brought it in today, swiped it on the reader, and the screen brought up purchases I made this year and last year. So they are all linked. Maybe it just glitched last night, I don't know. But I found my receipt, Jan of 2018. So the thread title is valid, about 2 1/2 years.
They didn't even test the old battery. Menards doesn't sell Exide anymore, so now I have a AC Delco. They gave it to me as an even exchange for an over 2 year old battery, so I'm not going to complain. Wait, not even exchange! Their 11% sale is on, so they also printed a rebate receipt for $9.72. Store credit, but I spend enough there. As long as this battery lasts until July 2021 or longer, I figure I'm ahead on the deal.
Of course I dropped a bolt removing the old battery. It rolled somewhere behind the front wheel but didn't hit the ground. At first I was worried I was going to have to pull the fender, but I removed the mud flap, which allowed me to move the bottom of the fender liner, dig around in the goop that collects there, and find it. I pulled out as much goop as I could, so maybe that will delay the rust for a year or two.
