Now way in hell I'd go buy a new $130 car battery just because it's approaching 2-3 yrs old.

What a worry wart, jeeze almighty


Actually it’s 4+ years old.


MOst OEM batteries are rated for 3-4 years max life. WAIT until it dies then call AAA unless you plan on a long roadtrip. Buy one with extended life, there are but a few battery manufacturers in the US anyway.
