Expired suddenly, so thought I’d only put that in 2 or 3 years ago so free replacement. I knew I had put the date fitted on the battery in permanent pen. Turns out it was fitted 24/04/21 with a five year guarantee. It lasted 5 years and 2 weeks. How time passes.

You must have had special ones.
None of my OEM fitted ones (or those fitted later) have done more than about 6 years even with battery conditioners to keep them healthier.
