Well, I've got my fingers crossed. If properly maintained, I expect the battery to last at least 10 years, and don't expect to ever use the warranty. But if it only lasts a few years, not a big loss and no different than if I had another AGM battery. With time I only expect the tech and features to improve in the future. I've got a couple of Dewalt lithium battery packs at least that old and still going strong. And they've been used and abused but the internal BMS keep the cells balance and their power tools protect them by shutting down connection when the battery pack level drops too low. Back in 2012 I built a lithium battery with A123 cells, when there were no lithium batteries for cars, (so what is that 14 years ago?) and it's still active in the car and with just as much power and Ah capacity as it did back then.
