Pep Boys - doesn't sell or warranty Bosch 12v battery anymore?

Have any other members experienced something similar at Pep Boys recently?

About 2 years ago, I bought the Bosch Platinum AGM S46B24R from Pep Boys. It has a 4 year free replacement warranty (i.e., not prorated).
The battery won't hold a charge so I physically walked into my local Pep Boys, and the guy at the counter told me (I'm paraphrasing):

• "They changed their battery warranty to only 1 year after Auto Plus bought them" - So it seems I wasn't grandfathered into the 4 year free replacement period that was in effect when I bought the battery? Can they even do that?
• "They don't carry Bosch batteries anymore. They only have Champion." - So I told him that I'd take a Champion AGM battery as a replacement. But when he looked in their inventory system, he said that they don't sell any AGM batteries for a 2007 Prius. Is it even possible for an auto parts store to not sell a 12v battery for a Prius?

My next steps

1. If Pep Boys / Auto Plus won't honor the warranty, I'm hoping that Bosch will.

   I'll try giving them a call during the weekday (888-715-3616) and ask them if they will honor the warranty. But based on the Bosch website, there doesn't seem to be any auto parts stores that's a Bosch retailer (I only see auto repair shops), so I'm not sure how I'd physically get the replacement battery.
2. If Bosch isn't helpful, do you think I can ask Pep Boys for cash or gift card in lieu of replacement battery?

 

Just to give everyone (and posterity) an update, I called up Bosch (888-715-3616) to explain my battery warranty situation. The representative asked for some information and said their battery warranty department would get back to me.

• my Pep Boys Order # (or receipt if that applies to you)
• Name
• Phone #

Update/Edit: The battery department called me back within 30 minutes and asked for my address. He mentioned that ideally, the retailer should have honored the warranty. He also mentioned that a physical receipt would have been better/easier than my online order confirmation email. I'll have to see what he's sending me in a few days (i.e., is it a replacement battery or just paperwork?).

 

Pep Boys
Weird, I thought I posted my resolution. Anyway, the Bosch paperwork seemed to suggest they would honor the warranty if Pep Boys wouldn't. It seemed to suggest Bosch would reimburse me for a new battery that I would have to buy myself. But one of the things the Bosch paperwork asked for was a printout of the battery tester from Pep Boys (as evidence that the battery is dead). My Pep Boys said their battery tester printout functionality was *cou "broken" gh* so they couldn't give me a printout. Once I told them why I needed the printout, they immediately changed their tune and said they could provide me a Champion AGM battery as replacement. Since they didn't have any in stock, they said they would order it for me. After a week with NO Champion AGM battery being delivered to the store, I pointed to the Optima battery sitting on their shelf and just paid the extra $40 for it (they were selling Champion battery for $200 and Optima battery for $240).
Sidenote- after getting home, I realized the Optima battery had SAE terminals instead of the Japanese pencil posts, which meant I had to go buy the learnaid kit and disassemble my whole battery setup. That was totally not worth the hassle, in my opinion. So whatever battery replacement you get, I would highly suggest you check for the correct terminal posts that will fit in your Prius.

NAPA
This may be a tangent, but I actually have a NAPA battery in my other Prius. I didn't like the fact that their battery doesn't have a "handle" which will make it unwieldy when installing or removing.
