How long did your factory battery last.

Less than 2 years, also replaced under warranty.

 

5 years.

 

My 15 battery disnt even last 3 years. Died like middle of 18 I believe.

 

Replaced the factory battery in my 12 April of 19 when NAPA had a 20% off sale. It was time.

 

I have a '15. I replaced mine about a month ago....but not because it had failed me....it was still cranking strong. But because the positive post was starting to leak. So 4 years technically.

 

Batteries usually last me 3 years. I’m on my third one now, but I also take lots of short trips and it’s like 100+ degrees for 3-4 months of the year down here in Texas.

 

Clean engine bay

 

Mines a 2015 and the battery died last month.

 

Afraid to jinx it, but I have an '05 I bought new and the original battery is still in it and going strong.

Had a Kubota factory battery in my tractor, bought new in '99, that just gave out two years ago.

Not sure what's going on. Lucky, I guess.

 

14 years on a battery? That's a miracle!

 

I agree. And 18 years on the Kubota battery. Both truck and tractor are parked under cover, and it's cold up here and summer averages only three 90 degree days. Maybe that's the reason. Truck has 100,000 miles on it. Tractor only 1100 hours.

Wife had an '08 Audi A4 from '09 to '15, and it ate two batteries. '15 Subaru she bought new has had a replacement, but they had a charging TSB out on it so that replacement probably was due to that problem.

 

Mine lasted 12 years. 2005 TRD OR with the larger capacity. This truck is always parked outside and seen super harsh Colorado mountain winters. I put it on a trickle charger every so often, so far so good. Original battery gave up in 2017.

 

I replaced mine in my 2015 after 3 years. But I also have a winch which I'm sure puts a little strain on it.

 

Pretty sure that's corrosion and not a leak. Normal, just scratch it off with a wire brush and apply terminal grease.

 

Nope. This wasn't corrosion. That green build-up is caused by sulfuric acid gas.

 

Battery in my 14' is still original almost 6yrs & still starting fine but haven't done a voltage test on it yet I'm just waiting until it starts to go

 

my '14......with 70K miles......when I bought it....in 9/17

went tits up a year later 9/18....dead right now NO warning

luckily I carry a jump pack and got her going....

yes it was a Johnson Controls....replaced with Interstate @ $140 installed

Suggest spending $60-70 on a jump pack to keep on board

you just never know when you or another motorist may need it...

better than using your Taco to jump a stranger..........

 

About 2 years. They are junk.

 

Longer than the frame

 

Battery in my '11 (purchased new in Sept. '10) just died about 2 weeks ago. 9 years on OEM
