My battery 6 years old (14D) with a small CCA=390A lasted 6 years. I noticed the battery problem last year (when it was a 5-year battery). I monitored the engine's start up for a year.

How To Load Test A Car Battery Without Buying A Load Tester. 

 can we do load test without buying a load tester?

One simple instruction: while the engine is off hold "Trip A" and press "Start" twice.

1. Cycle through trip odometer and find "Trip A"
2. Turn the ignition “off”
3. Hold Trip A odometer and press ignition switch twice (foot off gas pedal)
4. Continue to hold down the Trip odometer button until “000000” MILES appears on the display and the maintenance light turns off.
