really depends, I've had mine since Jan 99 and I just replaced my 2nd battery


I'd say 2-3 years is pretty good for a battery.

The life of Lead-acid batteries is 2-4 years. Any battery due to the design will last the same. Even the 24 month batteries at autozone last just as long as 5 year batteries. They are in fact the same battery, just a diffferent tags

Batteries should typically last 4-6 years, depending on what you get.

CLver, you still live in Rocklin? I used to live in Granite Bay and worked at the Rocklin Bel Air.

2.5-3 years on the average, under normal discharge/recharging conditions. Meaning, just running the normal car, with no accessories ie., a/v.
