my sti stock battery died at around 16k miles, since then i switched to the kinetik bought mines for 180 but some guy on ebay is selling em for 100. I havent tried much batteries but, honestly i can watch dvd's for hours in my car w/o the engine on and not have a problem starting it. I did this for about three straight months five days a week for about two hours a day anyone else using this battery?

I noticed that if you like to drive hard on turns, some times you spill some battery
fluid out of the vent holes on the stock battery.
I refered to the owners manual it said you may refill the battery water level if it was
low with distilled water.
I'm at the two year mark on my stock battery.
Check the water level if the starter seems to struggle on hot starts.
