New car battery recommendation - Toyota Yaris Forums

Scott, how long should lead acid battery last given best working conditions?

Cuz sealed lead acid batteries, like the ones found in home alarms as backup don't seem to last much longer than 4 years... My previous car batteries never lasted longer than 4 years either..
So as a rule of thumb, car batteries usually don't last much longer than 4-5 years. But it obviously doesn't seem to be the case with most of the Yaris/Echo owners up here.. like mine is 7 years old and counting...
