Life Expectancy of an Optima battery

Original Motorcraft Battery in my 96 Ranger is 12 years old and still working. It’s on its second starter, second solenoid, and third alternator.

My pop’s '95 Windstar has the OEM battery and 195K on it. Can’t believe it cranks over, let alone starts in Buffalo Februarys.
