Expected battery life? Posted by Wil W [Email] (#1148) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Wil W) on Sun, 2 Jan 2011 19:29:39 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Hi,
Based on previous threads, it seems the battery only lasts 2-4 yrs. My '02 Aero has been cranking slowly (in MN) and I had it tested this summer and they said it was fine (separately at dealer & Parts shop). I have not replaced the battery since purchasing it in 2005, but it was a new battery then. I have 6 years on this battery, but have only put 40K miles on it.
I am considering replacing the battery as a precautionary measure to not get stuck in <0 weather. What are my current replacement options. It looks like Code 10, Grp 91, or 48 but I have seen several post about discontinued sizes. What option (Size) have people used and where did you get it? My primary options are Walmart, Costco, Sam's and O'Reilly Auto, no Autozone or Pepboys though. I just replaced my Walmart battery on the SPG with another Walmart one on the SPG; it lasted >5 years as well.
Thanks,
Wil
