Lowest miles you got from an OEM battery?

I bought my wifes 2013 Honda Pilot in Dec 2012 so it is now a year and a half with 21k , she called me yesterday and said her battery is dead while she was at work . I Told her to call Honda roadside assistance and they came out and replaced it at no charge .

 

2009 with 130k miles on the factory battery.

 

46K on mine

 

66K 2009 OEM and still going. Bought in 08, lived in AZ for 2 years, the rest in Louisiana.

I did notice that it just started to start kind of funny, so now its time for an Optima

 

According to my service history, the battery was replaced at 26,445 miles(2.5 years). One day it was just dead and it was tested and found to be bad. It was replaced under warranty.

 

Optima red top lasted three years. Diehard Platinum is still going strong 6 years.

 

The battery on my '09 lasted 48k miles and almost 5 years.

 

i know but i don't keep any around the house. most people don't go through all of that and keep their batteries topped off. i know i've never done it in my lifetime.

 

5 years just bought a new battery yesterday or day before. My days are starting to run together.

 

it's not miles it's years you gauge the batteries to. Most good batteries only last about 3-4 years........you're lucky if you get 5 years out of a battery.

 

I have to replace mine every other August like clock work.

 

5 Years and still going strong. I use my 4 Hella lights quite often and use the bed outlet a lot too. We also had a very cold winter this year and I had no issues starting

 

What is the big deal about maintaining proper fluid levels in a battery? Access is easy and the whole job takes less than 5 minutes. Some distilled water and a small funnel is all you need.

 

Arizona is Hell on batteries.

 

I recommend investing in the Diehard Platinum 31M. This thing is seriously no joke.
1150 CCA. 75 pounds.
I swapped it in around the 12000 mile mark so i cant provide input as to the life of the stock battery.
