I've had my 2012 for 4 years 10 months now, and I'm still on my OEM battery :shock: :shock: :lol: :lol:

The first sign of start hesitation this winter, I'm going straight to Walmart :lol: :lol: https://www.walmart.com/ip/EverStart-Ma ... y/16795243 640CCA 8)

I have the Walmart Everstart battery in my Mitsubishi Eclipse right now.

I tried to get a 24F Everstart Maxx a couple of months ago for my 03 Frontier and one couldn't be located in the entire state of Virginia! Hopefully, they've got them stocked up again. I ended up going with an Autocraft Gold battery from Advance Auto for $85 after discount. The battery post are a bit undersized but it's working well, otherwise.

Costco has very good batteries & warranty, at very reasonable prices

Had mine replaced today. OEM installed 9/2014 so didn't quite make it 3 years. Had an 84 month limited warranty. Was given a prorated warranty replacement which reset the 84 month clock.

My dad swears by Costco. Apparently they have Interstate batteries with a non-questions-asked replacement guarantee for $89.99/per. So far he's happy with his.

I was at the stealership back in Oct or Nov, I can't remember. They did a battery test and they said it was still good. It's still cranking out 550amps according to the test results. :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: I did replace the positive battery terminal last summer with this. Then just cleaned the negative terminal.

It was 10 degrees last Monday. It was sitting all weekend because we had a snow storm and I didn't go out. It started right up without hesitation.

Okay I finally replaced my 5 year old OEM battery yesterday. :lol: Even though it was still going strong and the car was starting up fine, I was getting a little worried. I did notice there was a little bulge on two sides of the old battery when I took it out.

Walmart EverStart Maxx 35N for $93.76+tax & core fee. I still need to take back my old battery to get the $12 core fee back.

I've had good luck with them. I usually go with the Group 24F, though.
