Default FWIW I went to leave work the other day and my battery was dead...
Co-worker jump started it for me and it's been fine since with the exception of the long cranking upon startup which began yesterday.

Battery is old anyways (104k) so I might as well just replace it.

So what's the consensus for rear pads, PBR/Axxis Metal Master or Mintex Red?
