Oh yes, a little expensive but that's all I run in all my mustangs because they don't use acid and then I got into putting them in my daily drivers too. I had an optima in my wife's jeep, the alternator went out while we were in gatlinburg, we drove it all the way to seveirville to an auto parts store to get the alternator and back to the cabin so I could replace it, all on the battery. I swear by them. I have one that's 11 years old that's in my tractor lol.

Still on the OE Battery in my '08 (built in late '07), but it is garage kept & gets regularly plugged into one of my Battery MINDers*.

Resting voltage is currently 12.87 & Load tested yearly.

MY 2007 HHR LT also has 8.5 years battery life. Putting it in the cool back end is part of its long life, since heat is a big killer!

My '08 still had the original battery until a month ago. Only replaced it 'cause I a really good deal on a battery and didn't want to deal with a dead battery in the middle of this coming winter!!
