Easy to install. It should be years before I know the longevity of the battery.

Order specified a battery date code condition and they did not follow instructions. Battery had small area of damage. They did price match and ship quickly.

The battery purchased is a replacement for another battery of the same model that lasted barely a year. The battery is terribly overpriced if the only last a year.
