The OEM battery in our '04 9-5 Arc Wagon crapped out a year ago Thanksgiving ('08). I suppose that's tolerable. What we got, due to the fact that we were on the road when the battery took a dive, was a NAPA 75 month battery that's "so far, so good." What I wanted was a replacement made by the same company that did our '02 Dodge Dakota OEM battery. The truck was purchased new in May '02, and the battery still cranks strong. Here in Central Ilinois, that's unheard of. I go through the winter for the last few years, and when I walk out to the garage and its 0F, I expect to just hear an "unh" or a "click." But that thing must have the Energizer bunny in there, because this is Winter #8, and it just keeps going, and going.....
The real problem is that I SHOULD just replace it, but now I've gotta see how long this thing will go!
