I can't complain.

Just had to replace my battery. But I'm actually left very impressed. Date on the battery is 9-5-2017.

7 years on the original battery!

I'd be more impressed if it sat in the engine bay. It doesn't get extreme temperatures like a normal car would in the trunk.

That’s a very good run for a battery.

My 2017 GS daily driver battery lasted just under 7 years before an open thermostat caused the fans to run after shutting off the car. I knew I was pushing my luck. I don't think it would have lasted much longer.

Still running my original (DOB 8/22/2018) battery in my 2019 GS. Decided to increase my AAA towing level to 100 miles and see how long it will last. Livin' on the edge...

Had a Fiero Gt battery last almost 11 years. Must of been a mistake when it was manufactured.

That's a good run for a battery. My C6 had a battery that lasted almost 7 years too. The battery tender is the key to longevity and it's easier on the alternator too.
