4 to 5 years is typical for just about any battery. I do have a battery that is 6 years old in one of my cars that is still very strong.

Yes 4 to 5 years is typical. Last week I just replaced the original battery in my Volvo after 10 years and 125k miles, that was amazing.

Every battery and vehicle are different. I had a brand new battery in my F150 go bad in 6 months, I replaced it and it is going on 3 years. My Volvo got 10 years. Most batteries don't drop dead all of a sudden. It should give you warning sings well in advance of its failure.
