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.

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.

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
