Nice! Ya, I don't know what battery they used or whatnot, but it cost like $175.

Ain't no such thing as a lifetime warranty on a battery. Duralast gold is a 3 year free replacement.

I believe my battery is original as well. (I know I haven't replaced it yet, and my car is also an 04). I'm expecting it to die this year especially with the super cold weather I've been having. I'm going to buy a good battery when it does shit the bed.

Most oem batteries average 3 years. Anything after that its just a ticking time bomb...getting a new battery is cheap insurance against getting stranded somewhere you don't want to be.

So a bad battery causes the dash to go apeshit? :shock: I'll have to remember that in case it happens to me.

Yeah, it does that on my 08.5 as well. Three weeks without driving anywhere plus messing around with the headlights/foglights/parking lights (was working on the indy fog mod) equals low battery and dash freaking out when you go to try and start it. Now whenever I let the car sit, I charge the battery with a 600mA trickle charger for 24 hours once a week.

Same here.

Today, my car's battery also died. Luckily, it was still in the afternoon, so I took this video:

shitty. Thanks for the vids, can kind of give the rest of us an idea.
