OEM battery lasts forever.
 

Well not forever but 54 months and counting. Baltimore reaches 90 degrees in the summer, and below freezing in the winter. These temperatures can be tough on a battery.

In fact my battery has outlasted tires, brakes and window motors.

mine lasted 3 years 40K miles

Your time is coming ;)

Good...
 

to know. I am approaching 36 months and may just change mine out of fear of getting stuck in the middle of Baltimore. J/k I was just there a month ago or so on my way down south.:icon38:

I'm in Colorado and we certainly have extremes of temperature variance from season-to-season. The OEM battery lasted for five good years, but when it went there was little warning. It was just dead as a doornail! A new battery brought everything back, but there is a lifespan to be aware of.

You're the exception - not the rule. Typically, all you'll get is about 3 years out of most batteries.

yeah mine made it just passed the 40k/3 1/2 years

It didn't drop like a stone though, it slowly faded untill my car wouldn't fire up with ease when turning the key. It would struggle but the damn thing was working when i junked her :)

In a month:

So did you buy a new battery?

;)

you are lucky if you get more than 2 years in phoenix.

mine lasted until last month, roughly 5 years 68,000 miles... Baltimore MD and DC

im at 2 1/2 years with 68,000 miles and tons of hrs listening to music with the car off :)

HAHA you know him too well.

wooohoo...guess the battery life in the mid-atlantic region is kick-@ss!!

By the looks of it... My car still has the OEM Nissan battery :dunno:

It's an 03 and has about 67.5k on the clock.

HOping mine lasts till my Z is 5 years old, can't see it happening though. The battery in the GF's Maxima lasted 36 months and 1 day, just out of warranty.

Mine too. 2004 base model with 60112 miles on it. Hours of listening to music with the engine off as well.

Mine lasted 4 yrs 1 month 15 days and 67,230 miles. 2004 Enthusiast model.
