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

For what ever reason my LV Focus kills batteries every 12-18 months ever since I bought it new off the showroom floor, may be because of diesel engine though with vibrations, tight engine bay, heat etc.

Retrofitted the big-*** DIN85L into it which has another circa 200CCA capacity about 2 years ago, its starting to get a bit slow to crank in mornings.

The thing with non sealed batteries is 99% of people didn't maintain them anyway so its a moot point.

I'm big on Century - anything with the yellow and blue case is Australian made, but I've moved to ACDelco, out of all the cars I've replaced batteries on - AC Delco have consistently lasted the longest.
