Almost 5 years to the day with absolutely no indications of an impending failure. I'm told the hot weather can accelerate the failure of an older battery and we did have a couple of toasty weeks earlier in the year. No leakage onto the harness, just a total failure.
One week after purchasing my 01 used (with 5k on it) the original battery was dead as a door nail. It was on the lot for a couple of weeks in warm weather but I guess thats what did it in.
I ended up getting a Optima Red Top from Pep Boys. It has a 24 mo. full replacement warranty and pro-rated up to 84 mos. I shouldn't have to worry about it for a while. :cheers:
