I've had (cheap) batteries fail after a year, and some (expensive) ones that never seem to die after 7-8 years. But it's all just an exercise in basic math.
To determine the life of a modern battery, simply subtract the month/year purchased from the month/year of its demise.
The resulting number should match the lifespan warranty of the battery. If the number is lower, then you can prorate the cost of the battery on the purchase of a new one. If the number is higher, you did good, real good. Buy the same battery again.
Just sayin'..........
