[mainpath]

I think mine still has the original since 04 but my vx had a battery from early 03 that died sort of started to die in dec last year (08).
I replaced it as a just in case.

1 - 3 years is a very good life for a starting battery in a car.

All well. There was a weaker battery for $150 but I thought whats $30 when you only by a new battery every 3-4 years, and it comes with a three year warranty where as the weaker battery had a 2 year warranty.

yeh 3 years is good and obviously that indicates to ya that they have a 3 year life span.

Mine was original @90 000kays but it was an ex cop car, so being run day in day out. As soon as I had it a week not running it all day the battery went kerplunk.

Mums equipe did the same, about 4 years old and in the cold it just died. This is the time of year they do it :thumbsup:
