Default 9 years, 2 months...

Thats how long the OEM Varta battery held out. I have had to put the trickle charger on it lately due to it sitting a lot with me working out of town. Finally decided to not push the luck any longer. Out with the original, in with the new, higher capacity, AGM battery. Got it through work so at least no mark up, still cost me $175!

Anyway here is the new, in all its glory

That's an impressive amount of life for that battery!

I still have the original FoMoCo battery in my Explorer Sport for over 11 years and 160,000 klms.
