   I wish I had logged the brand of battery that I used to replace the   
   original/factory Monte Carlo battery.  That one lasted 4 years, but all the   
   rest were 3 years on the nose.     
      
   For some reason, I thought it was normal years ago to get 5-7 years out of a   
   car battery.
