Default Re: "Sealed" Batteries - Have we been conned?

My Focus used to kill batteries every 12 months - it did the original at around 20,000km, then the replacements didn't make it much longer than every 12 months.

Then 3 years ago we modified the carrier to take the larger DIN85L style battery up from the DIN65L - this one has gone a bit over 3 years but its on its last legs now.

Car does 120km on the highway 5 days a week so its not like its used for just small trips or suburban driving.

Could be a heat and vibrations thing I guess.
