My Oem battery lasted about 40k miles. I've been running a Hawker ever since.

 

I had to replace mine this past spring after 33,000 miles and 3 1/2 years. About what I expected from the Honda OEM battery. I wish I'd looked on the S2Ki store for the battery. I ended up buying a Diehard.

 

The battery was just put in the store a few weeks ago.

 

I'm at just over 3 years, 40,000 miles. So far so good with the original battery, but I'm thinking of getting the Hawker to replace it before it dies.

Is there a simple way to test your battery to see how much life it has left?

 

Here in Florida, where the heat can be a bitch, factory batteries are usually good for about 2 years before they shit the sheets.

 

54000 miles, not one problem with the battery yet. better knock on wood!

 

I bought the lightweight battery sold in the S2KI store about 6 mos ago....no problems at all and an easy/inexpensive way to lose 13 lbs....

 

It also gets pretty f'n hot in Texas. That'll contribute to a problem.

 

MY01 with 5200 miles has died twice this summer. I keep it in storage out of the elements a bit. Not surprised the first time as it had sat in storage for 2 months or so without being started and hadn't been driven in 5 months (michigan winters). But then after sitting for a week it was dead again. Was concerned I had an electrical system problem until I read this thread. Purchased the car 12/2000 so 2 1/2 years on the OEM battery. Will see how it goes. I have a starter in the storage garage and in my home garage so I know I can start it any time but if it keeps going dead I'll replace the battery. Is the lighter battery only good for warm weather? will look into it

 

thanks for the help guys....appreciate it.....
