Default Batteries - do they make them like they used to?
My XJ95 factory battery lasted about 8 years. Every year thereafter they seemed to last 3 years. I used to buy branded batteries and then took whatever NRMA batteries could supply.

The batteries on average lasted 3 years and then their life expectancy began to shrink. In the last 10 years they only lasted 2 years (reflecting a similar warranty). I am now on a battery that is approaching a full 3 years. WOW!

Time to think about a new battery as I have been rather lucky with an unbranded blue battery.

What has been your experience? [FWIW My JKU still has its factory battery 6 years later].
