You're right about the life. Who here has replaced a car battery after 3 years? My '89 Miata had the OEM battery (an AGM lead-acid battery), 25 years later.

- Rebelgecko 11y agoIf you live somewhere hot, it can be rare to get even 5 years out of a battery (although if you buy ones with a 3 year warranty you may only be paying for a battery every 5 years or so)
- WalterBright 11y agoA lead acid battery will last a long time if it is never deep-cycled (i.e. run down). Always keep it topped up with charge.
