Thumbs up Battery Life

I still have my original battery - now 8 1/2 years old - started the engine 4 times everyday on average.

It is still working well, even though a couple of winters ago I thought it was at the end of its life - but, no, a couple of charges over each winter has seen it through admirably.

Do I deserve a prize?
