Last November, my sister complained her 2003 Ford Focus was hard to start. On checking, we discovered it had the original battery from new - it was over 10 years old. The battery in my 2005 Boxster was original and that never gave me a lick of trouble, even thru Chicago winters.
I've had more issues with store-bought replacements myself, especially with my motorcycles. Oh, and BMW - every BMW I had, the OEM battery died around the 4-year mark.
