    I got 8 or 9 years out of my stock battery. It was a Panasonic. From what I read on TW, the stocks don't last that long anymore.

    Good stuff. I'm not sure if they make a conventional car battery anymore. I know they are big in the electric car batteries.

    Depends on your climate. 3-5 years is pretty standard for a lot of areas.

    Replaced my original OEM Batt last week on my 2013. Most of my driving was long trips. I do live in an area with hard winters at times. Some of my winter cold starts would be down to -17. Thankfully when it failed to start it was in my driveway.
