In Reply to: You have to drive a car once in a while to keep the battery charged. posted by srdavis2000 on January 5, 2017 at 11:13:03:
IME, batteries last a LOT longer than that. My 1993 Dakota with 182k on it is on only its third battery. Come to think of it, its also on its third radiator, and third fuel pump. Correlations there? It's been my further experience that the original equipment batteries do not last nearly as long as after market replacements. Usually not much more than 2 years for the OEM's here in the Texas heat.
