Approximately the same, 116,000 km (68,000 mi). I thought batteries lasted longer but this is my first diesel....... I am just going to go with OEM's from my dealership. They are really good to me there so I don't mind paying a little more. It also helps to be known when you bring it in for service or repair I find.

$119CA +tax for the upgraded 850 cranking amp battery.

The life of your battery depends on the climate. Hot places like the south west US is hard on batteries. Very cold climates are also very hard on them like where you are.
