My 1998 Dodge Intrepid ES oem battery lasted 7.5 years. It went through seven brutal NJ winters, made the drive down to Florida in 2004, then gave out in a Publix Market parking lot in 2005. The jump start a fellow shopper gave me lasted two blocks.
I had the battery replaced, (it was rather expensive for installation because of where it's located) then traded the car for the 06 C.
I do not hold out much hope that the battery in my C is going to give me that kind of service, especially with the summer/year-round temperatures we have.
