Batteries that are in the boot or out of the engine bay will last a lot longer than in the engine bay. It is the heat that kills them. 7 years is pretty good all the same. The battery in my ve would have lasted about 6 years which isn't to bad.

Yep, that’s certainly the original

No label other than what’s stuck on the top

No, no other labels.
My factory battery had a sticker on the side that had General Motors Holden Australia on it, also had some information about the battery on it too.

I just changed mine a month ago, approx. $190,
Car is 2012, in which I purchased in 2013 [10 months old at 16,000k/m], as it was an ex GM Executive Car, and that was to original battery, with all the stops and starts I do every day, its lasted well.
As keith reed mentioned earlier in the thread, the heat is thing that kills them quickly.
Definitely can not complain for the age of the original one.
