My dailies seem to go about ten years. I bought a correct repop. for my bee and got ten out of that. Still working but I don’t trust it anymore. I use it for shows now.

The newer cars with all their electronic stuff seem to go through batteries every 3 or 4 years.

My wife and I have 2015 vehicles and she got her 200 used only 6 months old and it had a new battery! That lasted 2 years and it went dead. Replaced it with an Exide and it lasted 2 years, just replaced it again a couple months ago! My 2500 Ram the original battery was replaced late last year also, all batteries are junk nowadays. My wife's 76 Colt had it's battery for 10 years and it was still working when we replaced it, her 85 Shelby Charger battery lasted 9 years...


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

The battery in my 2017 ram 1500 went bad after only two years. The 6 volt batteries in my 49 Plymouth generally last 10 years or more. My little garden tractor batteries usually last 2 years. Deep cycle batteries in my RV usually last three or four years. They get abused with deep discharges and not always fully recharged before discharging again.12 volt car batteries for me have normally lasted four to six years. The lithium-ion battery in my race car is to new to know. Hopefully 10 years

I get a minimum of 7 years out of mine, sometimes 10 years.
Half of my stuff is older, no computers or memories to keep running; the other half have memories and/or computers.
Every car has a battery tender on it except the '96 Breeze, which gets run almost every day.
The battery in my '93 Pathfinder was almost 11 years old, just happened to notice the date tag and replaced it just to cover my butt.
I have a restoration battery that's a bit weak - it'll charge, then drop to 12.25V after a couple weeks sitting disconnected - but the PO let a cell get pretty dry.
Optimas I've had went 10 years easily.
