What is the lifetime of a car battery?

I am still using the same car battery for 8 years 4 months and it is fine , but I've had a battery develop a dead cell at 3 years 10 months ( the battery had a 4 year free replacement period ) Know that every time you run the battery down, you take months away from the life of the battery. Many things contribute to the life of a battery. Short trips of less than 20 minutes will shorten the life as the alternator will not fully recharge the battery. Extreme temperatures either hot or cold shorten the life of a battery. On average a battery will last from 36 to 48 months. But I have had them last 7 years and others that only lasted 3 years.
