Hmm...battery I have in the WB ute is an old Century which was starting to get a bit sad in the Celica. It's got a date on it of 2001. It goes flat if it's left sit for a month or so, but works just fine if vehicles is used regularly enough.
Modern batteries are a lot better, and charging systems are a lot more efficient than they were. |

Optima Red-Top in the XB GT in 2006 and still going strong. Pretty good considering that it has gone 6 months with no driving or charging a number of times over the years.
