gravelrash 0 Posted August 20, 2011 Not really sure where to put this mods so move it if needed Just wondered who's original battery or replacement has lasted the longest? My b12 k5 is original and is 6 years old. (kiss of death i know!). A mate has had 3 batteries in the same period . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
