    I didn't know our batteries were prone to fail. I changed it when i added a winch. Maybe its the extras people on here run off their battery that is actually killing them?

    mine was replaced. i don't think it actually died, service adviser just said it was corroded more than usual and replaced it to be safe.

    this was early too... it was either the 10k or 15k service.
