The thing is, you can replace the batteries proactively under your own conditions or you can wait till they leave you sitting someplace and risk doing it under much less hospitable conditions.
Rather than being left sitting in the middle of the desert or out in the woods someplace with my family I just replaced them at home and in my garage at the 7 year point.
this is my thinking also. Friend is on 15 years on his ford pickup. His heart has about all that can be done for him to keep him a live so maybe a new battery would not help in an emergency. But I feel it can be a live or not live deal keeping a battery until it is dead.
