Yep. My wife and I have been talking for a week or so about setting the trainers up again. The weather forecast for the next week has made me decide to set things up again.

I put my Propel on the trainer this morning but just sat looking at it in despair. I'm going to bundle up and go out in a few minutes and fight the 20 mph wind.

New replacement battery's suck. Cheap chinessium garbage. 4 years out of the 2 I put in the Camaro, 3 out of the one in the firebird. Avalanche got a new one last year, 2nd tier $190.00. I got light headed from that one.

My experience is 3 to 5 years with most coming in around 3 to 4. Environmental loads may have a different impact for all I know. I know our HVAC systems in the cars are one all the time and we don't have much weather to enjoy driving with the windows open.

I usually get the cheep batteries, and get 4 years out of them these days. Somewhere along the line prices doubled and lifespans halved
