stator Posted August 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 1.7 AKU, registered December 2001.Still on the original factory fitted battery, which will soon be 13 years old.Interestingly I think my battery was OEM when it failed after 13 years, simply lacked the power to start the car from cold.
