I thought I had that record at over 9 yrs old. 13 yrs is nuts for battery life!

Edit; Just saw your build date is a late '03 X, that would make 9 yrs.

Sorry, mis-read that.

Mine was replaced at 9 yrs 3 mos, sitting for 12 hrs without alarm active showed 12.2/12.3 volts (that's around 45/50% charge). Some wait until they need jump starts which is foolish due to the wear/damage that can occur when voltage drops below 12.0 volts (voltage drops, amperage draw/heat increases).

I'm going to have mine tested after work. When I parked this morning, after taking the key out of the ignition I noticed the dash light stayed on and car wouldn't lock all doors, so I tried restarting the car - engine wouldn't start. Went around to the trunk (noticed the brake lights were on too) disconnected & reconnected battery, and then turned the car on (started fine)... DSC/ABS/Brake lights were on.

Possibly the battery going out?
