i am now into my 6th year, since 11/03...i can't believe it...i expect it to go any day now, i just replaced my 04 tl battery last week....just checking to see what others get/got. 37,000 miles
Dude, you live in San Francisco... my battery would have "lasted longer" if it didn't have to start at night during -20 degree weather.

oh...i forgot the dealer told me two years ago...it still cranks, this car is diven on a regular basis at least 30 min at trip for the most part, perhaps just enough to keep the battery working? i am just impressed and i just expect it to go any week now..
.i just wanted to know others experience, i can expect diversity and randomness ....

Man, who gives a shit...it's just a battery. IMO the time you spend going to the store to buy a new battery a bit more often outweighs the hassle of hooking up tricklechargers and obsessing over the battery life. When I park my car for the winter, I just disconnect the battery. Problem solved!
But if you want some kick ass DD performance from a battery, buy an Optima Redtop as a replacement.

When i got my PPI on my S2000, the Honda dealership said the battery was not doing as well on the recovery test as it should, and that I should replace it soon. It still cranks over easily, even in ~10 degree F weather.
