6.5 years on a battery - new personal record!

BUT talk about sticker shock!!!! this battery (same brand and type as I had in it) was almost twice as expensive as the old one from 2017, and that one was about 2x as expensive as the last battery I bought for any car in the years prior.

no lies man. i've bought four batteries in the last year. none of them were exotic by any stretch of the means and the cheapest one was $225

people wanna talk about paint and body, but batteries and tires gonna get ya every time! ;D

btw, great diagnosis on the bat-tree. likely a sulfated cell going south. i figure any battery that's 4+ yrs old doesn't owe me a darn thing.
