When the battery died,
there was no warning. I was in a grocery store parking
lot, turned the key, and all the dashboard lights
flashed on with a clicking sound. That's it.
I had AAA give me an emergency jump and drove
home normally; the following day, same problem.
The replacement battery from AAA was $174 with
a 5-year warranty including labor and emergency replacement.
Unfortunately, the battery that their manual listed as the
replacement part is significantly smaller than the original,
which means there's room for it to slide around in the battery
compartment resulting in an occasional clunking sound.
