18 years that's awesome. When I first got my car back on the road 30 some years ago I bought an Autolite repo that did not last long. Recently using flat top batteries from auto stores with Autolite top and most do not last more than 7 years with Battery Tender float charger.
18 years a incredible amount of time for a regular modern OEM type battery to last let alone a reproduction battery which apparently aren't held to as high of standards given the typical life span of most . Lucky you.
@BDT739 do you have a charger hooked up when the car sits?

Yes. Battery Tender float charger.
18 years, amazing results !
I'm pretty amazed myself, I bought it in 05' but never got the car on the road until 2008 , I've put about 1K miles on since then
This is the maintainer I've always used, not steady by any means, I just hook it up sometimes when I'm in the garage working, I'm assuming it's an AGM, the caps are just for looks, it's a very sealed battery
