Stock battery

How long has your battery lasted? Do they hold up well for a long time? Die gradually or drop off like a rock?

 

bump , wondering that myself . Most battery's now last JUST 3 -4 years at best with regular use (no winching , K C Daylighters etc)
What replacement battery's do folks like ? With a 2015 DC (2.5 years old ) I know I will be looking for a new one in the spring at best .

 

Mine keeps corroding up.

 

Mine died without any early warning. One day, it was functioning perfectly, another day, it was dead (wouldn't even crank). Mine lasted roughly about 4 & 1/2 years.

 

I bought my '14 used with 26000 last yr...still has stock batt..no issues

 

its usually the first really cold morning of the year that gets them !!

 

Vegas 2-4 years

 

My 2010 original battery died this April...

 

Sounds like these batteries last longer then my wife’s VW Jetta battery. That lasted 1.5 years. Had to have it replaced with only 30k + miles

 

Optima, best and only way to go!

 

Funny you mention that... My 2015 Passat battery dies last week at work. 46,000 miles, bought it brand new...Always garage kept. They just use junk batteries. I got a jump and left it on the tender for 2 days after that. Its been good, Alt is charging good, no issues with the car.

 

Got one in my Chevelle and it never let me down and I only drive it occasionally.

 

I have one in my Grand National, I yanked the first one after 10 years, was concerned about how much longer it could go. The current one is 5 years old. Optima Yellow top will be my next battery. With a big Christmas road trip coming up I will be watching closely. Since my truck was bought late 13 the battery is coming up on 4 years. First sign of a slow crank and it is getting yanked. After 22 Years at GM I have a really good ear for that stuff.
