Oldest V6 S197 with original battery?
Who has an older V6 S197 with the original battery?
Mine is a 2007 built in Jan 2007 and I still have the original battery. Cranks fine. I keep it on a Battery Tender. Any 2006 or 2005's here with the original?

Mine went dead on the lot. They said they replaced it, they didn't.
It cranked just fine when I left for school, then I go to start it after school, and it was dead.
Ha so here I am brand new car to me, best looking car in the school parking lot and the freaking think is dead. That sucked. Lol

08 and I had the original batt. until about December of 2010... Like tanner, it was a brand new car (to me as well lol) and it won't start, of course it was the one day I had an important place to be. I was so mad I got out and punched my garage door heh.
Got a gold duralast, was the only one that would fit in the space...

I have a 2006 that I bought in April 2006. I had the original battery in it until November 2010 - and because of slow starting on cold mornings, and winter coming, I figured that with 155,000 miles on it the battery was ready for retirement.

Boyh my g/f's '06 and my '07 still have the OE MotorCrap battery. Although the g/f's had shown some signs of being weak about 2 years ago, it was more related to her frequent short trips in town. Once we moved to the boonies, she drives farther and on more open roads and her battery is still doing fine. Mine still cranks over fine after sitting for 2-3 weeks.
