Will some batteries last longer? You betcha!
Are the people on this and other Forums who claim to have gotten 12+ years out of their batteries delusional.... You betcha!
:C
Im one of those 'delusional' people then.
The battery in my little Kubota tractor is the one it came with back in 2003. The coach and house batteries in my C are what I put in it back in 2011 when I bought it. My DW' 2008 SUV also has the OEM battery in it.
But then I oil the batteries when they're new and so never boil them dry or crank them till they're so hot the plates buckle.
A battery that fails at 3 or 4 years is just junk to start with IMHO.
