How long did your stock battery last?

Just got finished replacing my 6 1/2 year old factory battery. Other than tires and oil this is the only part replaced so far. Felt like that was a good run.

 

Mine lasted almost 5 years.

 

i just replaced mines last month. its been 9 years!!!!!

 

I bought my truck new and it died 2 weeks after the 3 year warranty.

What battery did you replace it with?

I went with a red top Optima. It somehow cracked so I replaced it with a yellow top. It didn't last long. I've had an Odyssey now for 4 years and it never has had issues.

 

Last August I traded my 2003 Taco for a 2014 Taco. 2003 still had original battery. So, 11 years+ and it was still ticking.

 

2007 bought new replaced just shy of 4 years.

 

Mine lasted five years but I don't know the true life on it since i'm the second owner. We bought the truck used in Feb 15' and the battery was shot so the dealer swapped it to a new 84 month Toyota one for free.

 

9 years also with mine. Had just under 60k miles.

 

About 3 years on my 2011. Replaced under warranty.

 

Mines been going 8 years, and 90,000 miles

 

9 years in my 06 V6, it never failed. I just got paranoid and changed it out.

Current trucks battery is on its 6th year, might swap it out soon.

 

Must be just the luck of the draw - some go in a couple of years others are going after 9 year - Wow 9 years.

 

I am replacing my 2011 OEM battery tomorrow. But even at that, it's still hanging in there. Only has issues if it sits for more than four days (checked and no parasitic drain).

 

Believe it or npoot i was on another froum years ago and some guy had a car he bought new. He said it still had the same bettery that it came with when new and the car was 18 years old. Everyone said he was full of it. He got quite upset that no one believed him. He said "It's my car. I bought it new and I'm tellin' ya it still has the original battery".

My Taco is a 2004 and it's on it's fourth battery. The first three were Toyota batteries and this last one is an Interstate Megatron. It has 172,000 miles on it.

 

8.5 years so far.

My wife's RAV4 went 11 years on the original (Panasonic) .

 

My '09 is still going with the original battery. I have been expecting it to need replacing any time now.

 

10 years, 129k miles and still ticking

 

8 years

 

4-1/2 yr, 81k miles so far. I'll be replacing it soon though. I'm going on a long road trip to some pretty remote locations and don't want to have battery issues.

 

Replaced the factory battery on my 2013 just before the winter. Live on Long Island but go skiing way upstate and VT, so winters aren't exactly friendly to batteries here. Plus having some extra strain via audio, lightbar, gauges, and remote start/alarm doesn't help. Couldn't take the chance of it not starting when it's -25 out and I need to go skiing lol.

Went with the AutoCraft Platinum AGM in 24F.


I had a coupon for 30% off (Thanks RetailMeNot!) as well as a $10 SpeedPerks reward. Very noticeable difference when the colder temps stayed around. The extra CCA made a world of difference.
