    99 bucks for a 84 month battery is a steal.

    My 05 Tundra lasted until I got rid of it last year. 7 years, never had an issue.

    Please see Section 12 in the Car and Deep Cycle Battery FAQ 2013 on www.batteryfaq.org. Clearly from the map, ambient temperature matters as does abuse and neglect. My OEM starting batteries typically last at least three years and replacements last at least five years, but I give them a lot of TLC and top them off at least one every three months with an external temperature compensated "smart" charger that is matched to the battery type.
