Yes, the original Panasonic AGM batteries have a freakishly long life. Mine lasted around 14 years before the 11:1 engine took it out. You're taking care of it as well which helps.

I have the original battery in my 1996 Miata. 197K miles. Car is stored in the winter in non-heated storage(Northern Ohio). I disconnect the battery when put into storage. Every year when I get the car out of storage, I assume the battery will have given up the ghost. But it always starts up after a few cranks and performs great until next storage season. I've never had a auto battery last much past it's rated life(for example 60 months). Is this a fluke, or is this normal for the factory Miata battery? I'm sure it will die now that I have written this e-mail :-( Steve
