When I was working in San Antonio last summer, the guys there said that if they get a year out of a battery, they're happy.
I've always had great luck with batteries for some strange reason. My '99 93 (that I sold to my son a few months back)had its original battery until this past winter! Six years and about 130,000 (mostly Massachusetts/New Hampshire) miles. In contrast, my '02 95 that has stayed here in North Carolina its whole lift shows signs of the battery getting weaker and I'm not even sure if it's the original one or not (it's in that box and I haven't looked, truth be told). I think there is a lot to be said about heat killing them. Cold can kill them, too, but only of you let it discharge and the electrolyte freezes.
