I almost never get the full term period from my batteries. I did get to 60 months on a 60 month battery, and it was still working, but I was about to take a road trip to Savannah GA. I figured I would just splurge and get a new battery before the trip. I would prefer to skip the dead battery in the middle of nowhere scenario.
I remember the days when batteries got weaker and weaker and let you know they are about to expire. Now they are fine one minute, and dead the next. One of the El Camino batteries was 100% fine in the morning commute, and I went to a physical therapist trying to see if my hip pain was something other than what turned out to be. Anyway, I went to go back to work and the radio would not even come on. I had a buddy swing by and we tried to jump it, and it would not even work that way. I pulled it out, he drove me to an Interstate dealer, and I got a new battery, and put it in myself. That old battery just shorted internally.
