Re: Battery date? 850 95

J: as suggested, check the level (height) of electrolyte, as well as a 'good/bad' reading. If you do wind up replacing the battery (6 years is a pretty long life in cold climates), I have been 100% happy with Interstate, which is made by Johnson Controls, who are said to be the makers of DieHard (don't know; but DieHards seem to be good, too). I go by the CCA, Cold Cranking Amps number, higher =stronger. Your owner's manual should have a suggestion, too. Why find out at -20 wind chill?--PD.
