Bad battery......

Fits great and fires right up. Hopefully this will last.

 

I just took my 2016 in for two year service and they replaced my original battery for free under warranty. 11k miles. My remote start was doing weird things so I thought it was the remote start but it was the battery.

 

Our OEM battery died a couple of months ago...if that. I never looked at the date on the battery but I did, after about a year, have to clean up a lot of corrosion on the positive terminal. That stayed under control until it died.

I didn't have time to order a battery and the OEM was out of warranty. We went with the Interstate Battery MTZ-34 as the replacement. AGM technology with a 48 month free replacement warranty. My wife's 2014 Acura MDX had it's battery crap out for the second time (the first time was covered under warranty after a little over a year). It takes the same battery as the Tundra so it now has a MTZ-34 under the hood.

That's what I'm running since about 5 months. I did a bit of research before choosing. So far so good.

 

how long do these generally last?

 

I have had my X2 27F since 2012 and I live in the desert where it gets 110 thru the summer.

 

Glad to hear this. My battery died after lasting 18 months (Phoenix). Threw in the X2 and hoping to keep it for a while!

 

Thanks, I'm pretty much set on this as my next battery.

 

Keeping the water topped of is one of the best things you can do even on sealed ones. Just had one low on water that wouldn't crank well topped of with water like new. Worth a try until you can get to the shop.
