The 99's second battery went out around 190,000 miles and 6 years. I bought a "used" battery from the interstate battery store down the road. Yes. Used battery. Apparently they get returns when a customer buys the wrong one by mistake and exchanges it. $60 and came with a 90 day warranty. Compared to $240 for a "new" one - I thought I could take a chance. So far after 6 months or so, so good.
