The comments here relate to 164L and 164S - maybe the LS uses the same battery.

I always wondered how come the batteries on my two 164's have lasted since 
1991.
Incredible!!!

I now have the answer.

The battery used is a Group 31 sealed with a vent.

It is a Truck battery and designed for much more arduous use than a car 
application

I finally had to get one for my 205000 mile 164L that I've owned from 
new.  The starting was getting a little reluctant.

Interstate makes the battery I bought (check the web site) and indeed was 
one of the OEM suppliers.

I got mine from a local gas station that the Interstate truck visits

It cost me $110.

A fabulous bargain
