In a lot of cases the battery lasts longer than the rest of the car, so wearing out the battery a little bit quicker might not affect the cars lifetime. People are getting 200,000 - 250,000 miles out of their batteries. Many cars wear out before that time, especially in parts of the country with winter and salt.
