- carbocation 11y agoI've lived in both Cambridge, MA and Scottsdale, AZ, and my batteries routinely die in under 2 years. I think it's mostly a function of my (infrequent) driving habits.

I bought a Battery Tender[1] for my infrequently-used vehicles and now the batteries last indefinitely[2] [1] http://amzn.com/B000CITK8S http://amzn.com/B000CITK8S [2] :) Based on the fact that I haven't had to replace them yet after 5 years.
