Maybe I got a great battery, maybe it dies tomorrow, but I have less than 8500 miles. Starts great every time.

We see too far.

Same here my battery is still going strong. Only have 4500 miles on mine.

Thanks. Yeah made those ramps a few years ago. Cheaper than race ramps and work well. Other than heavy as crap.

I can totally see that. Hot and humid here in TN.

Mine is in an insulated garage. Trickle charger in winter time.

My 5th gen was a 2011 and I got about 6 years out of it before replacing.

I dunno. Here in Detroit (southern Ontario

) if I leave my car sitting for 3 days in winter, it bricks. In summer I can get away with 5 days. Very unscientific, but leads me to believe it is more affected by cold than hot. Either way, the battery tender is my friend.

Southern Ontario (Detroit) is like Florida weather compared to eastern Ontario haha.

Sometimes I don't start my car for weeks in the summer and it fires right up. As mentioned though its always indoors and has never seen rain. I know I know I should drive it more. However Ontario is the Covid capital of the world so we've been locked down basically the last 2 summers that doesn't help getting out. Can't wait for car shows to start back.

53000 on mine parked outside in NW Ohio and my battery tests good.

Anyone have these on their 50? Or have any pics of one? American Racing 924 Crossfire. I think these are sweet wheel, and are light weight. Wonder how they’d look on our cars…

5 days max? I just had mine sitting for a month in the garage. Used the 12V receptacle to power my air pump to fill up some birthday balloons for the wife. Got the "Low Battery" message and left it sit for another week then it fired right run.

My expectation is this battery shouldn't have lasted this long since I had abused it early on by installing some backup lights that drained the battery to flat overnight. Took a half dozen drains/charges before I figured it out.

yeah but in the Camaro you are safe. COVID doesn't have the torque you do.

It’s been a while since we’ve had to have the 50th Year of Camaro vs H50 option package discussion.
