Is the presumed original all black w/ no labels and an orange crayon scribble on the top?

With 96K miles, I sold my 2007 in Dec 2015, and I had changed my battery twice!
At 56K miles, I had to change the battery in my 2014 just last week. |

Arizona heat tends to kill battery life, so I will be changing out my battery with a new OEM one every 3 years (~36K), regardless. Better safe, than stuck somewhere at an inopportune time. Likewise, I replace both OEM air filters every ~20K due to all the dust/dirt out here, and a desire to keep my airflow optimal.

Wow! We're on our third battery in the 07 with 210,000 miles. I do think the original lasted around 100,000 miles, but I'm not sure? Right now, the car is getting the alternator replaced so 250,000 miles on the original battery is fantastic! Any other issues with the car(hardly that a bad battery be called an 'issue')?
