Replaced the OEM Johnson Controls battery in my '11 today. The OEM battery gave great service for 7 1/2 years, still spun the V6 engine over and started it quite well, but was down from 565 CCAs to about 390 on my load tests. Replaced it with a private labeled Exide, same OEM CCAs, with a 3 year free replacement warranty, $79. Having to get under the plastic radiator cover to undo one hold down bolt with the pin fasteners being uncooperative was the worst part of the job since they wouldn't release as they are supposed to.

the mild weather of the Oregon Coast most likely contributed to the batteries long life. High heat is what kills batteries.
