OEm Battery Longevity Test! Join In Or Comment !
My OEM battery is six years old this past April. I intend to let it die before replacing it. The OEM battery was 7 years old in my 01 ECHO before I replaced it and it was actually functioning when replaced.
How long did your OEM battery last before replacement? I drive almost exclusively 14 miles a day five days a week or ~5k miles a year.

I'm at 140,000km on my '08 Yaris and I drive approx 20,000km or so a year and still have the original Panasonic battery. I won't touch it until it dies. These batteries are awesome.
It may just be me but last winter I thought I could notice it turning over slower in the -30 Celsius mornings than a couple years ago, but no problems starting in the cold. |

My new battery died after 2 years.. so I purchased an Amaron and it died at 2yrs old, I purchased a Varta and it died after 2 and a half-year..so I guess 2 years is maxx for me :P

Don't wait. I knew mine was going and ignored it until forced to deal with it. I got stranded deep in French speaking New Brunswick.
BTW, the original lasted almost 8yrs/187,000kms. Big original battery thread http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15962

I'm 9 years onto my OEM Panasonic battery. I did 156k KM.
Battery felt weak last winter. I will replace it before next winter. |

No corrosion, ever. Bronsin's thread would probably explain why. |

I really wish Panasonic batteries were sold in the states, our 2002 Echo still has it's OEM Panasonic & It's still going strong even after a very long and very cold winter here in NY state.

I just replaced the stock battery on our 2009 Yaris.....only because it just stopped starting the car. @___@ nearly stranded me at the gas pump.

My original battery is 5 1/2 years old (111K miles) and it still works just fine. It's a daily driver and gets ~20K miles put on her every year.

Replaced my battery for the second time yesterday. It could have been replaced under warranty for 25% of MSRP or about $85, plus $45 labour! Instead, I chose to use a dealer coupon for $99, including labour.

I still got the original battery in my '09 that I got in June of that year.
So it is it now six years old. However I only got a little over 14,00 miles on it so far. Last edited by RedRide; 06-08-2015 at 04:46 PM. |
