Your point? My car was warrantied for 40,000 miles or 3 years. It has already lasted longer than that. Given proper care, I expect it to soldier on for several more years and may more tens of thousands of miles.

You're wasting your time. "josepi" is gymmy-bob the top-posting crackpot's latest nym. Remember solar flare, john p benji, etc? Same nitwit.

Warranties cover worst case scenario's. My car is a 1999 and still has the original starting battery, even though it's warranty was only 12 months. We had Rolls-Surrette batteries, which most users rate 7-15 years with proper maintenance.
To put a finer point on it, my truck battery lasted eight years even though the warranty on it (new vehicle battery warranty) was only one year. "Josepi" is talking through his ass; both sides of it.
Just Plonk him, I just did..........
Only a Rube would use batteries with a 3-5 year warranty, for an Off Grid Application.... what a Moroooon.... (Bugs Bunny Definition)
Wow!, sore loser!
Since you just "plonked" me you cannot admit to seeing this but...
Many of those ratings are the manufacturers suggested replacement periods. This depends on the manufacturer's wording. In a critical application most apparatus would be replaced once the manufacturer's recommended time was up, anyway.
But since we are talking hobby usage, mostly. Sue I have lived in the dark and cold on 5 year old batteries. I am sure many of you have done the same, living off grid.
Well, I haven't, and it wasn't difficult. All I did to get good life out of my batteries was follow the advice I learned early on, and which I now pass along to others - buy the best batteries one can afford, and maintain them sensibly. Apparently you decided to take a different approach. Tough luck. The sensible advice now is for you to accept reality. It's gratifying to see that you're going your own way once more, because making the same mistake over and over is my personal theory on what makes a nitwit. And it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!
