How old was the battery, before you replaced it

[KiwiTT]

I just had mine replaced and it was dated 2000. So that makes it 6 years.

My new battery only has a warranty of 2 years, hence my curiosity.

[Kieran]

No idea, however it was a Jap-Spec 'SX-2' unit, so that makes it at least 3 years old at time of change.

Was around the 5 year mark in my old GLS, when phoning around for prices for once the $tealership was by far the cheapest!!!!

the typical lead/acid battery only has a 5 year lifespan...

mine shat itself after 2 year of hard use...

SO...

now ive got a excide orbital gel battery,
deep cycle/ starting battery 1000CCA

[dickytim]

replaced my battery after 3 months as the dealer had put the smallest battery known to man, so I put a gel cell in for the audio. My old car in Aussie was 2 years and 3 days old when the battery shat it self, it is hard to tell and I would expect you to get a wide variety of answers,

PS the warranty on the battery was 2 years....

Mine has still got the 1 in that it had in when imported and that was 1 1/2 years ago.

[Nick VR4]

About 3 1/2 years if I recall it started playing up after I didnt use the car every day

It was also very small so Jap spec

[psbarham]

the original mitsu battery died last year so 7 years which ain't too shabby
