Battery life question

Hi. I have a 2009 9-3 SportCombi that I bought new in May 2009. I am still on my original battery after almost 5 1/2 years. I only have 41K miles on the car. My question is, which is more important when considering battery life? Age or mileage? Or is it a combination of both? I put a tester on the battery, and it's still showing a good charge. I have never had any problems with it.
Since winter is just around the corner (i'm in the Cleveland area), I don't want to have any problems then. I have never gone this long on a battery. Should I replace it because of it's age, or is it safe to continue because of the low mileage?
Thanks,
Mike B.
2009 9-3 SC 6-speed manual, Carbon grey.
