I've had batteries from the same manufacturer last 7 years, or die the next day (went through 3 in a week once). Seems to be a hit or miss type thing really.
Altho it's been more hit than miss, I try to make it a point to buy from places that back the products they sell so I dont have to worry about it if it is a miss.

I couldn't see the point in paying the money for an Optima when I could get the same technology from a Napa knock-off at a more tollerable price. Been in the beast since I bought it, and even after not getting used often & even sitting for a few months it's worked just fine.


1956 GMC 370 dump " 'Tater "
1970 VW Volksrod "the Black Bomber"
2007 Chevy Avalanche
2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk,
2005 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI

I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion!
:P
