Still using original in my 2012; but only ~45,000 miles. 73 months on mine.

As a side-note: My 2009 Silverado AC Delco battery is 106 months, and still functioning. 18,000miles on it.

On my 3rd battery. I think they don't like the heat in south FL.

 

[5.0]

I'm at 61 months on my 2012. Just tested it and still at full CCA.

On a side note, I just got 10 years out of a Optima red top in the Corvette And it didn't actually die I just replaced it for reliability reasons. It was only putting out half the CCA at the time.

Lost my factory battery back in August, had my 13 Sonic just over 4 years (right at 50 months) and about 46k mi.

Just under 48 months for my POS stock battery.
I guess cold NJ winter starts don't help, went with a Durmast platinum 2 weeks ago.

The car produced in 2011 September. 28k miles, no problem with factory 70Amper battery. My sonic has Auto-stop feature also. When the car stop the engine stops. My friend has a 2015 Ford Focus with auto-stop feature. The battery changed 3 times under warranty and the Ford Service still not figured out why auto-stop feature doesn't work.
