Battery life

[Henry A Harper III]

I would not expect too much more than a couple years, although your mileage
may vary. It looks like I replaced my '91 200's original (as far as I could
tell when I got it in '97) battery on 9/10/01 - just an ordinary day...

That Interstate battery only lasted about 5 years, although the car did do a
lot of sitting. I now have some battery from Wal-Mart in there, I think,
along with a battery tender for when I'm not driving it much.
