Rather Late Model SUV Owners!

I'm normally in the 5-6 year range, as well, though I have got more out of some of them. For example, the original battery in my '01 Range Rover lasted 8 years.

I replace my batteries every 4 years or whenever it hesitates starting up in cold whether, whichever comes first. the $100 or so isn't worth getting stranded over.

Had an '03 Intrepid where the original (Bosch) battery lasted 4 years. Replaced it with a Superstart from O'Reilly, which lasted 4 more years until I traded it in.

In an '05 Vibe, the original (Delco) battery lasted 2 years. Replaced it with another Superstart, which lasted 5 years until I sold the car.

Way back in college (late 90s) I put a Superstart in my car and drove that thing for at least 7 1/2 years. I'm sold on that brand still, the middle-grade ones anyway.

I've had nothing but trouble with anything electrical from Autozone, that includes batteries, alternators/regulators, and starters. About the only thing I use them for nowadays is air filters & detailing supplies only if I'm in the area.

I had a factory Ford battery last ten years. Seams like factory parts lasts along time compared to store bought stuff.

The stock battery in a 2001 Subaru Forester I had lasted 8 years, until I moved up to the northeast and it died in the winter here.

OP here! Mine was the original Nissan brand battery. I would think it would last a little longer, but apparently not. Well, this one I got now should last until 2020!
