Didn't we all agree it was the Shaker system dragging the battery down?

So far I have not experienced any problems. My Mustang is not my DD so sometimes it sits for a week without starting it.

Plus the factory batteries have low cold cranking amps.
I haven't had any problems yet. I turn off the stereo before opening the door.
Definately upgrade the CCA's when replacing IMO.

Let me add.....
Its hard to say theres a defective problem with batteries. They are a wear and tear item. The more they are used the closer to death and replacement. Its like a clutch, tires, and brakes. The battery is no different. Just because a battery is dieing doesn't mean there should be a TSB. Whe comparing to a short-term situation, its like saying there should be a TSB for when your first full gas tank runs empty.
The reason there is a rash of battery problems now, including mine which I had to replace last week, is because its colder. Cold doesn't hurt batteries - but it does seperate the strong from the weak. If yours is weak then now is the time that you'll find it out. Electrons and atoms and all that wild-talk stuff travel slower and weaker at colder temperatures. Just look up the Ipod's ongoing battle with cold.
Anyways, replace your battery. You'll be good for 3-4 years. Heck, your alternator will go out before you even need your next battery.
