I've got a Y2K-X with 180K on it....
I'm into my 5th set of batteries.....
The originals [FOMOCO's] lasted approximately 2 years.....Went to Florida, and had to replace them at Sam's Club, back in 2002....In 2005, they went again....Returned them to the Sam's Club in North Carolina, got new batteries, and got a refund..none the less....The newer batteries cost less than the older ones....
Well in 2007, was in Florida again, and the batteries were acting up,,Went to Sam's Club again... replaced the batteries....Can't remember if I had to pay any money or not....But they gave me all new batteries....
Well, here we are in 2009, and guess what,,, the batteries didn't have the cranking amps to turn over the 7.3, and they just anted up for a new set of batteries...The cost to me this time was $16.00..
So, bottom line, I purchased 2 batteries back in 2002, from Sam's Club, and they have replaced the both of them """ 3 """ times now....
Cost to me NIHL....
The current and last set were Energizers manufactured by Johnson Controls....
I don't know what, but these 7.3's just eat batteries....

P.S. I clean my battery terminals every 6 mos like clock work....
I know you need the cranking power for the beast...
