Batteries don't fare well out here in Sunstroke, Arizona. I will probably just make it part of my regular maintenance schedule to get a new OEM battery every 36 months, and save myself any potential headaches.

I replaced mine back in like January. Was 5 years old with 105,000~ on it. I was sensing it being ever so slightly weak. Put a checker on it and it had like 1/3rd the power. Yikes! Ordered a Delco unit and been fine so far.

I run Delcos when i have a choice

I was thinking of replacing mine last fall to save a potential winter no start/battery change in below freezing weather.

But the cheapskate won out!

SO now I can crow about 7 instead of 6 years!
