my car is 3.5 yrs old and I recently checked the battery with a voltmeter via the power outlet inside the car. The battery is still in optimum condition based on that test.

My battery went bad in October less than 3 yrs old (2 3/4 yrs). Dealer replaced it under warranty on a prorated basis. Never had any problems with it. Discovered with a 30 point free check up.

I had a Optima Yellow Top in my 2K Max for only 6 months and had the dealer swap out batteries when I bought my 2K2. They also swapped out my Blowtenzas for the BFG's I had on my 2K as well. The dealer thought I was nuts. The stock battery only lasts a few years under normal operation.

hmmmm
Isnt the 00-01 a maintained battery...meaning you can adde distilled water to it and it will last much longer?
I checked on mine about 2 months ago...car was cranking a tad slow. Filled up the tubes on the battery and wah lah...performed MUCH better.
Fact or fiction: A self maint battery versus a SEALED battery will last longer/forever.
Thoughts?

However, the original battery that came in the 2k Maxi's was pretty darn poor... Mine got slow after 2 years, but that was a lot of miles. They have sort of a history with that... I got a 72 month gold something from Autozone that has worked great, almost 3 years old now. Next battery will be an Optima.
