Picked my Camaro 2SS up from the dealer in may of 2011. Still have the original battery in it - Knock On Wood!!!

Original battery still cranking fine, a little over 7 years. Now after posting this, I am gonna replace it, cause I just jinxed it.

I took the delivery of my car October 2009. I am still running the stock battery. I run a battery tender on it throughout the year. I think it's about time though. I am definitely changing it this spring.

Still have the original battery. Starts right up. Happy to see so many with older batteries than mine!
