2 & 1/2 years and a dead battery

YES! A Car topic - Woo Hoo!

My Ford F250, 2017. I bought it in September 2017. Battery died last week. I was able to charge it and get the truck to start, but no re-start cold. I fortunately bought one of those tiny start assist boxes (https://no.co/gb50).

This morning, had no trouble getting an appointment at the FORD dealer. Drove right in. They said they had to do an hour test. Came back, yep dead battery. Replaced under Warranty.

2.5 years seems short (hah!) life for a battery. I recently replaced Mrs. Beard's battery and it only lasted 3 years. (make that of it what you will).

Anyone else experiencing short car battery life?
