Hello, That is some low mileage for a 1999 vehicle! The battery size is 35 with a 360 CCA, but life depends on how the car is driven. If an older car is left sitting, the battery may die. It is driver-dependent. Best of luck, CarGrrl

295

If you are on the original battery change it now before you are left stranded. It can't be the original. Normal shelf life thee days is 3-6 years but they are so inexpensive vs a $300 tow job when it dies on the highway on you.
