Wow... I started this post way back when. Interesting to see that generally speaking, the batteries in these cars last nearly twice as long as any other I've owned...

I also own an 09 vert (daughters) we bought used with 22k miles or so back in 2012. Soon thereafter in early 2013 the local dealership replaced the battery as it was showing "signs" clock reset etc. Not sure why or of its use prior, but I do think the top had been operated up/down quite a bit without the car running contributing to its early demise.

Fast forward to this year, car began showing signs again (roughly 50k miles later). I had my Indy replace. Upon doing so, they were able to see that the replacement battery was NEVER REISTERED to the car!

Per that shop, a good explanation as to why it "only" lasted 6 years...
