I don't know what type of batteries SAAB uses, but your statement regarding the on/off failure mode sounds like they may be no maint. batteries (some are called "gel cells" or "sealed"). I've been using such batteries on my motorcycle for years and when they fail they do so suddenly and leave you stranded (as opposed to the old water based batteries that would slowly weaken then die). No maint. car batteries may last longer but the cycle batteries I've been using are often replaced every year or so to be safe (preventive maint) even though some are known to last for years while others fail within a year.
