Great Battery in Our Z's
 

Just returned to PA from our winter in Florida. Since December 8th, the Z simply sat in our chilly PA garage, no start-ups, no battery chargers, nothin'. I just hit the ignition and she fired up like she had been driven just yesterday. That's awfully good for a car I bought in December '09, manufactured June '09. Yes, we gripe some about our Z's, but credit where credit is due. In all other respects, as well, mine has been virtually perfect.

yah, mine takes 4 AA's.

Mine has been through four winters in my garage with only a few starts to move the tires and still starts like a champ. It does turn over a bit slow the first time though.

I wonder if I should change my aftermarket batteries back to oem now :stirthepot:

It might not be so much the battery is great. The compartment the battery is in helps protect it from the direct heat of the engine which helps extend the battery's life.

For those of you that don't know this batteries are stronger in the winter than they are in the summer.

dont we have the extended storage setting somewhere in the fuse panel or thats a one time thing once removed at the dealer?

Really?? Wow... Mine dies in 2 weeks and half. So even in the winter, I have to take it out for a spin once every 2 weeks... Granted I have aftermarket audio system installed. Guess it's the capacitor suck out the battery life...

Bit premature to say that it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Give it 6 or 7 years...if it still performs....then you can gloat.

Way ahead of you guys... had mine replaced this past Fall well before the first cold snap. This battery doesn't last nearly as long as the first one in my '03 Z.

Mine died after 3 years.

Were not talking about bedroom toys :icon18:

Treat er' the way she wants to be treated, she'll treat you the same way back. :tup:

I replaced my battery a couple months ago After two and a half years of ownership (but it is a 2009). It was down on fluid and I bet if I had serviced it twice, it would still be working. I've been to the track multiple times and the intense heat may have a connection.

Moral: check your battery fluid occasionally.

My ex-wife had a thing that took 6 D-cell.

It's nice to read a post that's not a complaint. Thanks, Mr. OldGuy. :tup:

:eek: :icon18:

You've piqued my geekness. "You buy this ship, treat her proper, she'll be with you the rest of your life

but do you want a 03 eclipse for the rest of your life?

And I bet that was just for drilling the pilot hole! Amirite? haha

:icon18:

Is this some type of first grade way of trying to throw an insult at me?

:icon17:

No this is not the insult.

This is: Yes she did. :roflpuke2:

Confuscious Say:

"Man who drive 03 Eclipse, Should stay home, not drive and not post in Z forum.
03 eclipse is exercise in humiliation."






Confuscious... He's deep man.:icon17:

wait, so youre mr.onzedge's ex?? :icon14: :wtf2:

hahaha, honestly i dont know wat a 03 eclipse look like anymore.... :confused:

The grooves on the side make it go very fast -- almost as fast as a Prius GT or Spec-R.

ohhhhh yeah...

im done with this thread.

Mitsubishi actually got the inspiration for those lines from a cheese slicer.:icon17:

I hope you don't have a problem with it. I guess I should have mentioned my past before you and I were an item.

6 D cells were fine. When he wanted me to go 220V, that was it.

I thought we were going to keep that to ourselves. :shakes head:

Whoops.

gosh this thread rattles out all secrets.:shakes head:

This thread just rattled out of control in general.

Sorry, I agree. My old 300ZX battery was still working 6+ years later, when I just replaced it.

was the op asking a question, or ? :confused:

This is the thread that broke the Camel's ____........

You guys spend whaaay too much time on this site.:wtf2:
