Honda 100 Month battery
Hey gang,
Back in August of 2012 when I bought my 2001 Accord I never really paid much attention to the battery which was in it; it looked a bit old and I figured it probably had a year or two left in it before I'd have to replace it. Over the last five years I've wondered when it would quit, but other than that, I ignored it.
As some of you know I bought a new daily driver back in May and I parked the Accord waiting for the state of New Hampshire to get me a new duplicate title; my wife and I rearranged our filing a few years ago and that particular folder is missing; we probably put it someplace where we wouldn't forget where it was. Today I went out to start the old girl up so I could take her down to have her detailed prior to putting her up for sale and wouldn't you know it, the battery was almost dead.
Over came the Acura, on went the jumper cables, and while I was waiting for some charge to get into the Honda's battery I looked at it. Yikes! The battery, billed as a Honda 100 Month unit, had the month and year punch outs set to May of 2008, 110 months ago! Okay, color me impressed.

I think that is what I'll get when the time comes.
I've had batteries last less than a year and one nine years old and still working when it got traded.
How long have people been getting on the original Honda batteries?
