How long did your battery last?

When I returned my 07X, after 4 years and ~70k km of mostly city driving, the battery showed no signs of degradation. I had no electrical modifications other than adding the plug and play Nissan OEM iPod adapter.
I'm just at 12k km on the new ride and it's been equally as reliable as the X. No issues to speak of, including the battery.

Are your connections tight? Make sure the terminals are fully tightened so they don't slip off. Someone had an issue with that and the car would shut off.

sorry if, you can connect a battery tester or bring it to autozone, they can do a load test to it on the spot. Usually that's an indication its toast.. you will notice it has a harder time starting etc, ones a cell breaks.

I just replaced mine a couple of months ago at about 75k miles, about 4 years. I added a subwoofer and amp to my stock system but the battery showed signs of needing replacement even before the system.
I changed my battery when i notice the start ups were getting harder and slower. The car was especially hard to start after sitting more than 2 or 3 days.

My G is 4 years old and sitting at 40k miles. I believe my battery is starting to tank. I have stock electronics, and have only run just battery a few times, far less than I have with any previous vehicle. One time I did leave it on too long, requiring a jump start. I didn't keep track of exactly how long, but didn't seem all that long though. Just recently, I didn't drive my car for 3-4 days, and the battery was dead when I finally went to start it. It also seems a little sluggish on startup at times.
For the ones that have replaced their batteries, did you go OEM or aftermarket?
