The original battary on my DX hatch is still doing great, after 5
canadian winters. I've got it loaded down with a 100amp bazzoka
subwoofers, a total of 600watts of speakers, CD Changer and Alpine
receiver. In countless occations, i've had the car plasting the music 8
hrs straight. I've left the interior lights on in many occations and
drained the battary. I've also jump started stalled cars in about 20 to
30 insidence over the years...

We'll just have to see how well the battary holds up this comming
winter.
