Just curious who is still on their original factory battery?
Mine still works great, but I have used a battery tender for the last two years. I think that is what makes it last longer. Mine is an '03 and a garage queen with only 18,700 miles.

Very early # 34 production Vert., 27,500 miles, original battery. Had the Elec. system and battery checked before the Tune, so far so good. Due to die any day......

I was until Sunday!! Car has become a weekend driver over the past month, and standed me at Lowes on Sunday... :( Had to beg for a jump from a Chevy guy..!

Wierd thing is that it gave me no warning. Started fine before the drive, and then came out and literally was dead!!

Mine went last week, 26k miles.....only 8k miles in the last 3 years. It would have lasted longer but I back it in and out of the shop a ton and never drive it to charge it back up.

Garage queen/weekend car since day 1. 7,2XX miles. Most of those miles were in the first 3 years of ownership. Been on a tender for last ~3 years. Lead plates still look new; no buildup.

Not 100% certain if mine is the original since I'm the 3rd owner, but it looks like it. It's the OEM battery, and it looks rather old.

12/02 build with 72k miles. It's a DD though, and it has been for quite some time.
