3 year replacement. The rest is pro-rated fairly.
Here's some interesting information. I couldn't find my receipt for the WalMart "Maxx" battery I bought 6 months ago that died but I called up and asked if I could bring it back since it had a 03/10 manufacture date on the side of it and a 3 year free replacement warranty. They said no problem, bring it back.

That battery had printed on the label "Made by Exide for WalMart". When I picked up the new 75N "Maxx" labeled battery with the same yellow "Maxx" label, I noticed that it looked different, had 700 CCA instead of 690. Further examination of the new battery showed that it was made in 02/11 and on the top label was printed "Made by Johnson Controls for WalMart".

Therefore, a new WalMart 75N "Maxx" battery is most likely the exact same battery as the AutoZone Duralast, still with a 3 year free replacement warranty.
