How long did your original battery last?
Considering my build date is 7/07, my battery is now 4 years old (purchased the xb 10/1/07). Im actually shocked that its gone this long considering the extreme heat in the summer and unusually COLD winter (past 2 years) its been through here in TX.
How long has/did yours last? Im hoping for at least one more year but I wouldnt be shocked if it goes this winter if we have another one like last year.

The TrueStart toyota batteries typically last around 5-6 years and are warrantied to 84 months. Obviously climates have their issues with batteries but if you're worried about it i know getting a load test done at your dealership would at least be cheap insurance for your mind.

I got my 2009 xB in July of 2008 and it lasted until Dec 2010. Probably could have squeezed another month or so out of it, but I was taking a road trip to N. AZ. and didn't want any problems starting the car in the cold. Any battery that lasts more than 2 years in the Phx heat is a good battery, IMHO.
