Default Just replaced original battery...

Just replaced the original battery on my 2008 JK Sahara. Very happy that it served me well, and that many years. Kudos to the manufacturer on that point, but then I haven't had anything yet cost me big $ to date, other than the new Delco I picked up ($202). My '89 F150 also had an original battery that lasted ten years, but by then I had already spent big money replacing engine and chassis parts that should have given better service for the way I babied it.

Thats rather good I would say especially if you have been winching offroading though what nots it does take a lot of wear and tare. Much better then I have done having to change mine twice (Cdn Tire Eliminator) in the 7 years I have owned it (bought it used) Now if the rest of the vehicle holds together like that your far ahead of the game

I've already bought batteries from Cdn Tire as well as Wal Mart and found them to be not worth the effort or money. This was some years ago (15 or more ) when $85 should have bought a fairly good and reliable one. Since then, I've learned that it's far better to buy a quality battery and leave the worry up to someone else.
