So as it's gotten colder and colder here, my IS has gradually taken longer and longer to start. Finally today, at 17 degrees on the thermometer, my OEM battery gave up the ghost.
I took my girlfriend's b00sted '06 Volvo S40 up to NAPA and picked up a new battery, swapped it out, and brought the core back. I knew it was an OEM battery but I asked the guy at the counter if he could tell how old it was. He said it looked to be from 2002! I thought that was pretty impressive that it lasted that long.
