That said, MOST if not all of the time battery is not utilized fully. On your question of why it only lasted 2 years @ 100k KM, if you do your driving in city most of the time and less than 10KM, battery will undercharge, and to make it worse, more frequently cranked. Thus battery lifespan will decrease. If you did it mostly on highway for a long distance, battery should last longer.</blockquote>
