Default Question: How long has your original stock Audi battery lasted?
I just replaced my original battery today. Battery was 6 years and 3 months old according to the date of production of my car. The cold weather finally snapped its life today, I've been nursing it for the past month. Anything lasting over 5.5 years is great I was told, anyway just curious...

Default I replaced mine February 2007...
...and my in-service date was June 2002, so the original battery did not make it to 5 years.
