On the other hand, I was stranded in a parking lot at one point due to a bad/old battery in my minivan. Luckily, there was a parts store across the street. Except I had to carry the battery back across.

If I don't forget, I'd swap them out after 5 years. Not too bad at $179, which works out to $36 a year.

That's my thinking also. The $40/year is cheap for the 'peace of mind'
