I disagree on the lifetime being maximal 4 years.
My wife's car (and previous one) did approx. 8 to 10 years on the battery.
Cheers,

Subject: Re: relocating the battery
I've checked with a couple of car battery stores here, noone knows batteries
by two-digit numbers, like for instance, "group 26". They all categorize
them
by their Ampere-Hour power storage capacity, e.g. 44Ah, 60Ah, etc.
So, what are the dimensions of a Group 26? I'll have to take my measuring
tape along and get the one that is right.
And wow, 10 years for a battery? Even the most expensive ones won't last
more
than 3 or 4 here. Who knows where the "difference" lies, hmmm....
