My father's Explorer had to have a new battery 3 years ago. I think it was because they do not drive far enough to recharge the battery. And his car might sit for several months.

I put a lead on the battery for a 1/2 amp smart charger. It has been fine ever since. Mrs. Beard's BMW had a replacement battery a few years back that also didn't last much more than 3 years. I'm also keeping a lithium car starter in the car. I'm also putting he car on a charger every month to make sure it is topped off.
