That's because you were due 64% (actually, 63.8 %) of $64- he wasn't keeping
track of his units ;-). You should have gotten $40.88 Back, although I'd be
inclined to take the $64 for the inconvenience of having to deal with a
battery thay only lasted 1/3 of its rated lifespan.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
