Guys,

Does anyone know or have experience regarding how long the battery lasts in these cars? When is it reasonable to expect to have to replace the battery?

I have a 2009 V8V.

 

Mine is a 07 V8V and I replaced the first battery Jan of 2012, not bad

 

My 08 v8v went first of last year. I think it depends on use and storage.

 

I have a 2007 on the original batteries. They are funny things, some can last 3 months, others go 10 years. Heat is the # 1 enemy of a lead acid battery, so I think one reason Aston batteries tend to last is the cars stay in the garage most their lives!

 

I just had to replace the one in my 06 a few months back.

 

My S roadster killed a battery after 3 months
But then I was driving round with the roof down in -5C

 

In northern CA, if you drive the car regularly (or keep it on a tender when it's not driven), I would think you'd get 7 or 8 years out of a battery. In Naples, FL, I can barely squeeze out 4 or 5, but the heat, as previously noted, is very hard on batteries, even AGM. In NY, I seem to get 6 or 7 on cars that see only summer use.

 

Keep it on a tender when not in use or drive the thing on nice days at least once a week minimun and you should get 6 years at least in the Mid atlantic.

 

Still on the original batter on my 07MY here in FL. Of course, now that I've said it, I'll prolly need a replacement soon.
