I just changed a battery today that had fully died, and was only 6 months old. It was a napa battery fwiw. But in my personal experience over the years I've found that when a battery is replaced and not registered (on vehicles that require it) the replacement battery goes down really fast, lasts on average 6 months. I'm actually wondering if one were to register replacement in the power module on a car with a two year old battery, (without actually replacing the battery) if the battery will last longer by being charged more robustly. I may never have the opportunity to test this theory through the shop though.

I understand why it is the way it is, what is being done and all... and it is good technology. But it isn't perfected yet.
