My 2012 Still has the original battery. No matter what I'm gonna change it out this winter. Has 65k miles.

Mine is on its way out. I dont daily mine any more and lately if it sits for a week it wont start. I can jump start it and then its fine all weekend but by the next Friday its drained again and it looks like the original battery so I will just replace it as the alternator is putting out plenty of voltage (14.5)

put it on a tender. Same thing will happen to the new battery if you don't address that now.

I will start looking for a battery this week I guess, I am sure its time. I know you get what you pay for with batteries but dont feel like spending $300 either

I have it sitting in my "cart" on amazon. I have seen the price fluctuate from $178 to 240. Right now it's $225. If you search the forum, this was a popular replacement
