My car is a '20, but built in 07/19 (purchased the end of that September).

I'm still on the original battery, but have had it on an Optima trickle since about 11/19, because when I connected it the first time, I noticed the charge state registered something like 50%. Admittedly - I hardly drove it by that time, so it wasn't getting much recharge from running.

I still have less that 4K-miles on it now, but just keep it on the trickle almost all of the time. Sometimes I'll give it a break for about a week, but not, usually longer than that.

I pulled this battery for the first time recently for a little project, and I thought this was a lightweight battery... I assure you it is not...
