My hmmwv has 11 year old military batteries Right now, and they hold a full charge...[/QUOTE]
In 1990 I worked with a guy who had previously worked elsewhere in a team designing & making a car battery that would last 'practically' forever.
They were successful, but when 'Marketing' found out about it, his team was disbanded & they were all gradually fired.
He said it could have been sold for about twice the cost of an ordinary battery. But now they make batteries with a built-in failure mode using the electric light globe as the example.
