Battery Life??

[thatguy1988]

I have panasonic battery in my 04 with 225k. I bought the 4runner used back in 2013. Is it possible that it's the original battery?

Well I was saying what I was told in teck school that was exactly what my instructors said.

eace: That's cool, not trying to start a fight, it's just not correct from every online source I looked at (and I only checked it out because I recently looked into the issue myself for my Prius's 12v battery which is now 5 years old and probably due for a replacement.

Wife's '03 and my '05 still have the original OEM panasonic's. Both vehicles live outside, both vehicles have about 130k miles. This winter was somewhat mild....last winter was cold with record snow. Batteries never skipped a beat.
