keep the cells hydrated and use a maintainer and 6 or more years out of an Interstate is normal. I'll bet 5$ wally is exide country, never liked their batteries, always the highest brand count in the dead pile we used to tip over to acid wash the floors..The warranty is prorated so you still can end up paying more than if you just eat it on the front end and the megatron in my city was only 72.00....
