Die Hard!

Hey guys I was just curious, what is the typical life of a car battery? I personally have a Die Hard in my car and was just curious how long they last ordinarily. Thanks in advance for any input.

Re: Die Hard!

Depends where you are in the country. I'm in WI and typically get 6-8 years out of car batteries. I know a few people around here that are still running Optima spiral cell batteries from the mid-90s.
