Thanks for the information guys! I believe the battery to be about 4-5 years. Also, it's a maintenance free battery which I'm not sure if I could do the procedure you suggest RML but, i will double check to see.

Thats definently on my to do list with the battery tray. Last i checked, it was in need of replacement... Hate to see what it looks like under it now

Any suggestions on replacements if everything else checks out? Should I purchase a battery from the dealer? Or what about an Interstate?

Thanks everyone!
