Another 3yr old Saab battery bites the dust

These things sure don't last very well! Had my car in for the 28K service yesterday, and I had a short "sqawk list" for them to look at. One of which was that I had gotten a couple SRS lights that went off with restarting the car. Tech found all sorts of DTCs related to low battery voltage. So they replaced the battery. Car was built in Sept 07, I bought it in March 09. So it sat for a loooong time, and I don't commute so it tends to sit for a week at a time all the time now. I mostly use it for long trips, I have other toys for summer around town use.
They also seem to have fixed my other main complaint - 2nd gear quite hard to get into until the gearbox warms up. There is now a TSB for that evidently, the fix is to drain the gearbox and refill with only 2.2L of new oil, rather than fill until it runs out the hole. Seems to have made a HUGE difference, and I am very happy because I was going to change the gearbox oil at 30K anyway - that Special Swedish Gearbox Goo is expensive!!
