Battery Replacement / Preventive Maintenance 850 1996

If you buy a good battery it should last 5+ years. Having said that my last battery (Costco/Kirkland) bought by the P.O. lasted me 4 months before it broke internally. Since I was stranded, and there was an auto parts store a couple blocks away, I bought a battery that they had on sale.

However, next time I replace my battery I plan on going with one of the Spiral Cell batteries. The ones that look like a six pack of beer with terminals on top. They seem to be more resistant to damage, have a more constant power output, and be lighter too.
