ok. who on TW has the longest surviving OEM battery?

Just coming up on 5 years on my original battery in my '09

 

My 09 is still on it's original.

 

Funny you should ask such a questions. LOL

Mine took a huge 5hit tonight...left me stranded. GRRRRR.

Had to walk a bit, call AAA. Got the truck home, but dead. Will replace in the morning!

Suggestions for good battery???????

 

There should be a poll out for this.

 

No one from Phoenix is going to win this. Around here in the summer if you go to an auto parts store there at least 2 people getting new batteries. Replaced my wifes last year. I carry cables in the truck and have helped 4 people at work already. The heat is murder on batteries here.

 

I've had an Exide battery in my BMW since I first purchased it in 2008 w/ 48k miles. Car currently is at 115,6xx with the same battery still going strong, knock on wood. I've never had a battery last that long in my life.

Unfortunately, I think the company has filed for bankruptcy... Sucks because it's lasted longer than any other battery I've ever used.

 

mine lasted 5 years oem

 

'07, 96k

6 years going strong. HIDs, light bar and camper shell with lights.. thinking its time for a check up =]

 

Still running stock in my 06

 

05 still runnin the oem battery. never even had to jump it. im gunna be pissed when i have to put some POS duralast!

 

Replaced the 07's this year, after all the electrical torture I put it through I'm surprised it last this long

 

2009 with 60000 still stock I did a load test about a week ago when I put on my floodlights its a little low but still good.

 

Bought new in January 07, 95k miles, OEM battery still working even after several complete discharges.

 

06, just gave up about 2 months ago. 85k miles.

 

OEM battery still in my 05 that has just over 60k

 

I had to replace the original battery in my 2003 this summer, died on me at the gas station at 430 am on the way to work. Since I gots the 5 speed I just pushed it down the parking lot and it fired right up.

 

Its gettin weak tho

 

just replaced mine in my 05 last week with 120k miles. It was getting weak and the wife stayed in the truck while I went in to Lowes. I came back out and everything in the truck was turned on. I had to ask a couple of guys at the loading dock to help give me a push to get us going. I always carry cables but I took out my toolbox out to have enough room to haul everything.

 

My '99 had the original battery in it (manufactured in December of '98) when I bought it in 2010; I replaced it with an Optima Red Top when I had a slow-crank start 20 miles back in the woods one evening during deer season. Talk about sudden-onset religion

 

I'm curious, was this one the Panasonic batteries? Reason I ask is the battery in my wife's Lexus was replaced last year. It's an '03 and it had the original battery!
