My01 with 65K still running original battery. Will probably replace this winter. Am not looking to shed weight so will probably go back to OEM

01 with 34k, still original. Plan on keeping OEM when replacement is needed.

not surpising.

Got 60k on the MY02 and will likely need a new one by winter's end. It barely started in the cold last year.

Since Jimmy does not start his car in the cold (wet, hot, windy, sleety, snowy, warm, anf other), he should not have these issues
