Wow - this has turned into more of a "political" challenge than a discussion about the poor quality of OEM batteries!
Can't we just all agree that SOME people are lucky enough to have their OEM batteries last longer than most? We are all ecstatic that you've had good luck and we wish you all the happiness you deserve!
Bottom line is, I've never had an OEM battery last more than 2 years (100% functional, no leaks, etc.) on any make/model car I've had since I've been driving in the early '70s and there's been dozens of cars/trucks in that 35+ year period of time. I know many others have the same experience, including several car dealers, service manager and even automotive manufacturing design engineers that have all admitted that batteries and tires are below-standard for obvious reasons.
So maybe we can stop with the "you're full of crap" type of posts here and just share your own experiences and maybe what solution(s) you've found work best as a replacement. M-kay?
