I have to admit the longevity of it is now starting to worry me - I mean how long CAN they last??? I'm of the mind that the very first sign it's going to fail it will be out the door but that said, I doubt I'll ever again get such a good run from another battery of any make.

Dec. of 1996 and mine still seems to be running strong. Has spent most of its life on a Battery Tender while not driven.
