Default Re: Life of original battery

Just replaced the original battery in my Tundra after it died without any warning. Started just fine when I left to go to lunch but when I came out of the restaurant, it wouldn't even turn over. Couldn't even get it to turn over with a jump. Luckily this was a certified used truck. I had to buy a battery, but not pay for the tow to the dealership. The service manager said if one cell goes dead, you can't jump the battery. I believe he wasn't just trying to make a sell because he didn't even have a battery in stock that would fit in my truck. The courtesy van drove me to a store so I could buy a battery. The dealer only charged $11 for the lift and to install my battery. I thought that was pretty good service.

The original battery was 3.5 years old.
