Finally pensioned off the old battery today. It had been two days since I drove the car and, though it started OK this morning, it was not over eager. No point being silly about this so it's out to pasture now.
Checking my records, I bought this battery for $85 (w/ trade discount) on 13/6/04, so that's 11 1/2 years out of one battery. I did run it flat once (ignition on overnight) and that may have shortened its life; the 604's battery is still going strong and I bought it a month earlier.
Not expecting the replacement to last as long.
Have fun,
Rob.
