Yes a battery has a finite number of discharge/recharge cycles but in Saabs the demise of the battery is acceleration by higher temps under the hood, a process called sulfination (plates become coated) occurs more rapidly above a certain temp.
Now I had 2 9-5s for 8 yrs a 1999 and a 2004. I removed the underhood noise liner from the 1999 and would typically leave the garage open to ventilate in the hot summer months and the battery on my 1999 would last between 4 and 5 yrs while the wifes 2004 would expire around every 3 yrs. or so.
The high underhood temps after shutdown really take their toll of battery life expectancy.
