I bought this battery on 8/17/08 so it didn't even last 3 years. I always have a battery Tender Plus on it when not driving and over the winter too.
Just letting everyone know first hand what you may expect.

I disconnect the negative terminal when I store the car for long periods and during the winter. I also have a hypothesis that by disconnecting the battery, it minimizes oxidation due to electrolysis.
