Default 2004 Ram 5.7, still using the original battery
Just wondering if I'm a severe outlier, or part of the norm. It has the towing package, which probably came with a larger battery. Started right up this week at 0F degrees.

The battery in mine lasted a bit over nine years. When I replaced it, there were still a few twists left.

My Walmart special 3 year everstart battery just failed this year. Bought in 2008. Replaced with the exact same battery.

My 04 just had its battery replaced for the first time. Surprising too as most batteries last around 8ish years.
