I paid 350 for the platinum battery but come to find out that if you switch the battery to another car or swap it out for the correct battery 🔋 its only warranty to the specific car. So basically ur screwed if you're car breaks down and you just bought top of the line battery for the old car the new car won't transfer. I think if you buy the top battery it should transfer warranty to the new car because wats platinum about it other than the battery.thanks for reading.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
