There HAS to be a difference is design from "back in the old days" for higher capacity and keeping the prices low. In the past, a battery just got weaker and weaker. It was easy to hear the starter was sluggish. Time for a new battery. The last three batteries died an instant death. One minute they spun the started like they should, and a few minutes later, dead dead dead. I had one battery that could not even be jumped. It was like it was disconnected internally.

Now I just replace the battery at about 5 years. Even if it is fine. They always die at a very inconvenient time.
