Lifetime Warranty Alternators and Starters.
Save forty dollars, spend a hundred in fuel and dozens and dozens of hours off your life dealing with a shined-up piece of junk. They'll gladly hand you another, and another, and another...fifty, three hundred.
Batteries either fail right away or if you abuse them anytime they want. But a good brand gone wrong fails right away or not at all during the "warranty period". Accountants and analyzers spend HUNDREDS OF HOURS concocting warranty formulas that will cost the company least.

Go to your MD and ask him for a warranty. Or the druggist or dentist. You can't even get a warranty for body and fender work. Try and find a warranty for Teflon coated cookware or a can of paint.
Go to the Rolls Royce of battery manufacturers: Rolls & Surrette and Crown. Look at their warranties. Trojan industrial batteries.
