Of the batteries I've had to replace, only 2 had a 'cause' that I could blame. Flaky alternator on '89 900 drained the battery pretty low. Didn't fail till a couple weeks later when it really got cold. At that time, it just quit holding a charge.
Another one ('95 Integra) had the case warp under the hold-down clamp. Eventually a couple plates touched each other. Some of you folks have Hondas, so watch those clamps...
I'm just saying for each of my battery failures, I don't think a battery monitor would have saved me.
I guess no matter what you do, there's a potential type of failure that you're not protected for.
